[pkg-wine-party] Bug#734603: wine64: Cannot update from 1.6.1-5 - bad prerm script in old package, and none in new package - missing alternatives for wine

[Christian Holm Christensen]

Package: wine64
Version: 1.6.1-13
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When trying to update wine64 from  1.6.1-5 to 1.6.1-13, I get

  Preparing to unpack .../wine64_1.6.1-13_amd64.deb ...
  update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for wine
  dpkg: warning: subprocess old pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
  dpkg: trying script from the new package instead ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/wine64_1.6.1-13_amd64.deb (--unpack):
   there is no script in the new version of the package - giving up
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/wine64_1.6.1-13_amd64.deb

Perhaps you need to supply a dummy prerm script for upgrades, and make
sure
that alternatives, etc. a properly dealt with.

Thanks.

Yours,

Christian
