I have been looking at #362960 and #419109. They're both failures of this form during a sarge -> etch upgrade:
dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/include/asm/a.out.h' with different file `/usr/include/asm-i386/a.out.h', not allowed I eventually worked out that this is caused by dpkg bug #310390, which affects the version in sarge but not etch. When it upgrades amd64-libs, it fails to remove that package's copy of a.out.h. Then when the postinst tries to remove the diversion things fall down. I tried manually upgrading dpkg before apt-get upgrade; then the bug doesn't show up. Installing dpkg updates libc6 to etch but not amd64-libs. I don't know how to prevent others from hitting this. Would predepending on a sufficiently new dpkg work? -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
