Package: libxrender1 Version: 0.8.3-4 Severity: normal I tried to remove libxrender1 (using dselect) and got the following error on the second diversion removal: "dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting `/usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1' with different file `/usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender-1.1.so.1', not allowed".
I removed the newer symbolic link manually and was then able to remove the package using dselect. If I reinstall the package and then try to remove it again, I repeat the problem. After removal of the package by the above method, the link from libXrender.so.1 to libXrender.so.1.0 looks similar to everything else in the directory (same naming conventions and same timestamps). -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux johnson 2.4.22-1-k7 #5 Sat Oct 4 14:11:12 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE= Versions of packages libxrender1 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii xlibs 4.1.0-16woody1 X Window System client libraries
