From a shell script I used a set of the following commands
which added the moved file list to /var/lib/dpkg/diversions
dpkg-divert --divert new_path --add old_path
dpkg -L package-name lists the old and new
diverted file paths {ok}
Viewing the package in aptitude looks normal,
e.g. flags it as installed, not broken
However, the KPackage Files tab still flags
each of the moved files with a red X
I've never actually used KPackage for installs,
but find it convenient and useful for viewing
and information
Is it necessary to try to sync KPackage
against the diversions ?

Moving_Installed_Files
Greetings If I move installed files from their original apt-get install target locations, is there a a simple way to redirect the package managers to cope with these path changes for future updates/upgrades of a particular package ? For example, I've installed the python2.3-qt3 package under Debian/Sarge and moved all of the associated files into a NEW dir within the /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages dir and added a necessary .pth file to compliment the python search rules So far, this seems to function as expected in the python/qt zone, e.g., all of the python/qt demos still work, but I'm wondering how to deal with future updates/upgrades -- Cousin Stanley Human Being Phoenix, Arizona -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
