Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.18
I'm trying to override a config file provided by nagios-plugins with a
custom version. As such I have this in my preinst:
if [ "$1" = "install" ]; then
dpkg-divert --package nagios-plugins-custom --add --rename \
--divert /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg.divert.custom /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
fi
and in the postrm:
if [ "$1" = "remove" ]; then
dpkg-divert --package nagios-plugins-custom --remove --rename \
--divert /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg.divert.custom /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
fi
However if I try and install this I get this:
dpkg -i nagios-plugins-custom_1.0_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package nagios-plugins-custom.
(Reading database ... 131893 files and directories currently installed.)

Adding `diversion of /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg to
/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg.divert.custom by
nagios-plugins-custom'
[[ looks good ]]

What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.

The right thing has happened, but I don't think the user should have
been asked the question - this is the first version since the divert.
The thing that's really going wrong is the remove:
dpkg --purge nagios-plugins-custom

FWIW I also get all these issues on sarge (and an additional one which
seems to be #312931/140222/351361):
