Title:
  update-alternatives doesn't appear to work with inetutils-traceroute

Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Not sure if this is caused by this package or is a bug in the dpkg
  package which provides update-alternatives.

  Following install of inetutils-traceroute I cannot use traceroute.

  # traceroute
  -bash: /usr/sbin/traceroute: No such file or directory
  # which traceroute
  /usr/bin/traceroute
  # ll /usr/bin/traceroute
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Nov 10 03:31 /usr/bin/traceroute -> /etc/alternatives/traceroute*

  This is a broken link.

  But:

  # update-alternatives --list traceroute
  /usr/bin/inetutils-traceroute

  I have previously installed the traceroute package but removed this as
  inetutils-traceroute is more reliable.
