When I do that in an elevated shell: $ cd /etc/postinstall/ $ cat gnuplot-base.dash /usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/gnuplot gnuplot /usr/bin/gnuplot-base.exe 10 $ . gnuplot-base.dash failed to read link /usr/bin/gnuplot: No such file or directory failed to link /usr/bin/gnuplot -> /etc/alternatives/gnuplot: No such file or directory $ These are the same messages as I find in "/var/Log/setup.log.full". $ ls -l /usr/bin/gnuplot* -rwxr-xr-x 1 Admin None 1444371 Jun 12 03:40 /usr/bin/gnuplot-base.exe I don't know enough about alternatives to diagnose this problem.
