            Bug ID: 196626
           Summary: [archivers/dpkg] "update-alternatives" command needs
                    directory "/usr/local/var/log"
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: pawel@FreeBSD.org

After installing archivers/dpkg, running the "update-alternatives" command
results in the following:

$ update-alternatives --install /usr/local/bin/gcc4 gcc4 /usr/local/bin/gcc48
100
update-alternatives: error: cannot append to
'/usr/local/var/log/alternatives.log': No such file or directory

I created a patch for the Makefile that creates this directory post-install.
I'm not sure if I did it in the right format. This is the command that I used:

$ diff -uN Makefile.orig Makefile > dpkg-Makefile.patch

I figured that I don't use the "make makepatch" for this instance because the
changes have nothing to do with the source code.
