The problem is this line of install-usr.sh: update-alternatives --install $BIN/ijconsole ijconsole $BIN/ijconsole-9.4 9.4
That final 9.4 is the priority of the alternative. It should probably be 904. (A higher priority alternative overrides a previous priority, and this script was probably automatically generated and the previous version was 903 and presumably we want to overide priority 903 instances of ijconsole with the 9.4 version.)
