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.

Doug
