Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.12.0-3
Followup-For: Bug #340765

I still got this bug when upgrading with aptitude from 2.10.0-8 to
2.12.0-3 in unstable today.  When preparing the upgrade in the ncurses
UI of aptitude, I purged desktop-base because it's now only recommended
instead of depended.  Then when performing the upgrade, I got the same
error message of:
    update-alternatives: unable to make
    /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-splash.dpkg-tmp a symlink to
    /etc/alternatives/desktop-splash: No such file or directory
And gnome-session is left unpacked but not configured.  Running "dpkg
--configure --pending" again gives the same error.

So I installed desktop-base again, and now gnome-session is successfully
configured.

Maybe gnome-session should still depend on desktop-base?
