natty i386 updated

applying the daily upgrades, i'm seeing these errors into the dialog box details:

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Since you're on i686, /usr/lib32 packages aren't relevant. But it's weird that it's displaying those warnings, perhaps update-alternatives is doing something inappropriate.

Looking through the source code, my guess is it has something to do with the code Alberto recently added for cleaning up diversions.

@Alberto, mind taking a look at this when you get a chance? Maybe the rules just need to test for lib32 beforehand.

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

It's just a warning, not an actual error. I could make update-alternatives silent but I really prefer to keep the warnings on for debugging.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Closing bug as won't fix - the warning message is useful and alberto does not wish to silence it.
