You're right. It does still fail in this scenario, although I'm inclined to think that is a corner case. The example code in dpkg-divert(8) and policy place the diverted file in the same directory. Checking the lintian lab, the same is also true of all current preinst scripts. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Digital signature

But I might be mistaken and I'd rather make sure that the bug is really fixed before proceeding with the 1.14.20 upload.

severity 476973 important thanks Since this potentially causes any *new* installs of packages using diversions to fail, I'm raising the severity to important.
