[Bug 477141] Re: package maildrop 2.0.4-3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Ivan Razumov]

Same for me. Here is some more information:
Setting up maildrop (2.0.4-3) ...
update-alternatives: error: alternative link /usr/share/man/man5/maildir.5.gz is already managed by maildir.5.
dpkg: error processing maildrop (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 maildrop
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

It seems that either maildrop or maildir has improper configuration (one
provides gzip-ed man page, another - uncompressed, hence the conflict)
