Hello, Report: 2828 Status: Open, normal. Analyse: dpkg does not reckognize same file with different names. Explanation: For example, when moving files from /usr/bin/X11/ to /usr/X11R6/bin (to fix a bad package), dpkg will happily remove the just installed file again. The sitation exists inside a single package (during an upgrade), and between different packages. Strategy: This needs to be discussed and implemented. I think this is pretty important and should be aimed at probably for a new major revision of dpkg (2.0 perhaps?). Several suggestions were made, but no convincing.
