Hmm, I wonder if an old Qt2 package didn't properly call
"update-alternatives --remove" in the prerm.

That's probably an update-alternatives bug, but there are so many to
choose from I can't figure out which one it is...  #100135 is one
possibility...

Yep, that would be my guess.

Bug#318765: libqt4-dev: got broken alternatives symlink for moc

2005-07-17 Thread Jan Niehusmann
Package: libqt4-dev
Version: 4.0.0-1
Severity: minor

Compiling a simple test program with qt4 failed with this error message:

$ qmake
$ make
(cd "/src/tools/moc" && make)
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: /src/tools/moc: No such file or directory
make: *** [/usr/bin/moc] Error 1

The reason is, that I somehow ended up with a broken alternatives symlink
for moc:

$ ls -al /etc/alternatives/moc 
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 20 Nov  5  2003 /etc/alternatives/moc -> 
/usr/lib/qt2/bin/moc
$ ls -al /usr/lib/qt2/bin/moc
ls: /usr/lib/qt2/bin/moc: No such file or directory

Unfortunately, update-alternatives seems to be unable to correct this:

# update-alternatives --config moc

There is only 1 program which provides moc
(/usr/bin/moc-qt4). Nothing to configure.

Of course, the fix is trivial (manually correct the symlink). I have no
idea how this happened, but I surely didn't manually mess with the
alternatives. Probably some interesting sequence of installs and
uninstalls of different versions of qt.

If I'm the only one with this problem, just close the report. So, other
people with the same symptoms, please speak up ;)
