Public bug reported:
Copied from my Ubuntu answers question:
After starting the interactive docker container on my host machine using
docker container run -it ubuntu:noble /bin/bash
I ran the following commands
1. apt update
2. apt install cpp
3. update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cpp cpp /usr/bin/cpp-13 13
I get the following output from the last command
update-alternatives: renaming cpp link from /lib/cpp to /usr/bin/cpp
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/cpp-13 to provide /usr/bin/cpp (cpp) in
auto mode
update-alternatives: error: cannot stat file '/etc/alternatives/cpp': Too many
levels of symbolic links
The link /usr/bin/cpp also no longer exists.
The above commands work fine in the Ubuntu 22.04 docker container (well
with cpp-11).
