Summary:                    --set does not work
Description: 
during testing the new apache2 package I wanted to change the alternative:

/opt/csw/sbin/alternatives --display httpd
Installed alternatives for httpd are:
/opt/csw/apache2/sbin/httpd httpd /opt/csw/apache2/sbin/httpd.prefork 100
/opt/csw/apache2/sbin/httpd httpd /opt/csw/apache2/sbin/httpd.worker 50


/opt/csw/sbin/alternatives --set httpd /opt/csw/apache2/sbin/httpd.worker

ln: cannot create /etc/opt/etc/alternatives/httpd: No such file or
directory

Ah.. presuming you are reporting on an issue with TEST packages of apache2
(since the officially released versions of them do not use
'alternatives'), and since you had other issues with the 'alternatives'
package due to your zone usage, I am going to close this bug, as probably
invalid.
(it is entirely possible it is an issue with the test apache packages
rather than 'alternatives')

If you discover a problem with officially released packages, please open a
new bug, with details.

Thanks,
Philip
