           Summary: update-alternatives-dpkg paths are wrong
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build

1 - $dpkglibdir is wrong. It is hardcoded pointing to "../utils" when the
correct standard place to dpkg package is /usr/lib/dpkg

2 - $apath

All the postinst scripts use update-alternatives like this:

update-alternatives --install ${base_bindir}/gzip gzip gzip.${PN} 100

Then the update-alternatives-dpkg gets gzip.${PN} (actually gzip.gzip)
as it $apath
and creates the symbolic link:

/etc/alternatives/gzip -> gzip.gzip

But this symbolic link does not work... it shoud be

/etc/alternatives/gzip -> /bin/gzip.gzip
