package xfce4-session 4.6.0-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: process post-installation script is maiking code 2 in every update from changing to xfce4.6

[Willhelm]

Binary package hint: xfce4-session

After update from xfce4.4 to xfce4.6 every trial to update another packages shows problem with this one. Everything is working and updated, but something must be wrong. It's annoying, everytime you want to check or install something. I'd like to get rid of this problem, but i don't know how... I tried reinstalling this package, but it hasn't changed anything. I don't have any idea...
I'm using now Xubuntu 9.04, xfce4-session 4.6.0-1ubuntu2

Hi,

Thanks for your bug report.

This error message is present in the attached log files:
"update-alternatives: błąd wewnętrzny: uszkodzone /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-session-manager: niepoprawny tryb aktualizacji"

I can't speak Polish, so could you confirm that what Google translated for me is correct? ;)
"update-alternatives: internal error: corrupt /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-session-manager: invalid update mode"

Hi,

thanks for the answer:) Yes it's a very correct translation. Is there any
error I could correct?

Is your "/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-session-manager" file corrupted?
Could you attach it to this bug report please?

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

There were some glitches in update-alternative at that time, fixed later in dpkg.
