Others have had trouble with this font package, but some of the minor details vary. This does not seem to affect anything I'm currently doing on the system.

it's not bug in ttf-sazanami itself

> update-alternatives: error: alternative link /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-japanese-gothic.ttf is already managed by ttf-japanese-gothic.ttf.before_restore_2010-05-10_13.04.34.284045.

I don't know what makes "ttf-japanese-gothic.ttf.before_restore_2010-05-10_13.04.34.284045." file,
but pre/postinst script doesn't make such file.
