[Bug 1793280] Re: update-alternatives tries and fails to write to '/usr/local/var/log/alternatives.log': File or folder does not exist

[Olivier Tilloy]

Those are the expected versions, I'm not sure what's going on that makes
update-alternatives want to write to
/usr/local/var/log/alternatives.log.

** Summary changed:

- package firefox 62.0+build2-0ubuntu0.18.04.5 failed to install/upgrade: geïnstalleerd firefox pakket post-installation script subproces meldde een fout afsluitstatus 2
+ update-alternatives tries and fails to write to '/usr/local/var/log/alternatives.log': File or folder does not exist

** Package changed: firefox (Ubuntu) => dpkg (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New
