Package: libpolyorb3
Version: 2.8~20110207-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

using diversions in M-A: same packages seems to be a bad idea. I expect
the following sequence to fail (but can't test it currently because
gnat-4.6-base is not yet M-A co-installable).

  have the ancient libpolyorb2 installed
  apt-get install libpolyorb3:amd64
  apt-get install libpolyorb3:i386
  apt-get remove libpolyorb3:i386
  # now postrm will remove the diversion and BOOOM

But why would you need this diversion anyway? The file conflict
according to #673982 is with libpolyorb2 which is only in squeeze.
So having (maybe versioned)
  Breaks: libpolyorb2
  Replaces: libpolyorb2
should be sufficient to take over the file and get rid of the obsolete
library.

And don't forget to cleanup the obsolete diversion - postinst would
be a suitable place.
