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

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
A further update:  When the original bungled --set data was removed (by
using --auto), a subsequent installation proceeded normally.  So, the
changes made earlier are likely good, but further error checks may be
required in there somewhere?
