The problem comes when the version changes, and the diversion is attempted. The original diversion is: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-linux/3.0.2/cc1 -> cc1.32 and the upgrade tries to do: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-linux/3.0.3/cc1 -> cc1.32 But this confuses the dpkg-divert program severely. -- .----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=-----. / Ben Collins -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
