Subject: Bug#3196: ispell symlinks broken

From: Bill Mitchell <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 2 Jun 1996 20:39:34 -0700 (PDT)

Package: ispell
Version: 3.1.18-11

This seems as if this would likely either the result of a bug in the
ispell or in update-alternatives.  I'm a bit confused about this, since
"grep alternatives /var/lib/dpkg/info/ispell*" didn't find any hits.
