[Bug 793173] Re: update-alternatives: error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/gnome-www-browser corrupt: invalid status

[Micah Gersten]

Since dpkg left this in an invalid state, I'm moving the bug there

** Summary changed:

- package firefox 4.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
+ update-alternatives: error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/gnome-www-browser corrupt: invalid status

** Package changed: firefox (Ubuntu) => dpkg (Ubuntu)
