Bug#769998: gnome-session-flashback: fails to install: update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/lib/gnome-panel/gnome-session-flashback doesn't exist

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: gnome-session-flashback
Version: 3.14.0-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package gnome-session-flashback.
  (Reading database ... 32445 files and directories currently installed.)
  Preparing to unpack .../gnome-session-flashback_3.14.0-2_all.deb ...

  Setting up gnome-session-flashback (3.14.0-2) ...
  update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/lib/gnome-panel/gnome-session-flashback doesn't exist
  dpkg: error processing package gnome-session-flashback (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   gnome-session-flashback


You need to ship all directories where alternatives (or slave alternatives)
will be installed.


cheers,

Andreas
