This is because i hit BUG#37430.

Now, I have a bunch of files in /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives that are corrupted.

This is because (obviously to me at least) that whatever maintains this list is not creating a new file, syncing and renaming it to do updates to the files in this directory. If it did, no files would be corrupted and recoving from this crash would be a lot easier.

What I really need now is a program that will regenerate the files in this directory. Or at least point out the corrupted ones and regenerate those.
