Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 1.4.0.6-5
Severity: normal


... as can be seen here:

Removing gnome-terminal ...
update-alternatives: --slave only allowed with --install

caused by this line in the prerm:

 update-alternatives --remove x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper \
   --slave /usr/share/man/man1/x-terminal-emulator.1.gz \
   x-terminal-emulator.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/gnome-terminal.1.gz

which should probably be:

  update-alternatives --remove x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper
