Package: live-tools Version: 4.0.1-1 VSIDO systems (Debian SID based distro)
live-tools diverts and keeps update owned by procps even when live-tools is uninstalled This issue is causing applications like inxi to fail with an error like this: The following applications are missing from your system: Application: uptime To add to your system, install the proper distribution package for your system: Debian/Ubuntu: procps :: Arch Linux: procps :: Redhat/Fedora/Suse: procps When running: dpkg-divert --list '*uptime*' shows the package uptime which is owned by procps as diverted by live-tools diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/uptime.1.gz to /usr/share/man/man1/uptime.orig.procps.1.gz by live-tools diversion of /usr/bin/uptime to /usr/bin/uptime.orig.procps by live-tools Uninstalling live-tools and reinstalling procps does not resolve the problem Manually removing the diversion from /var/lib/dpkg/diversions and then apt-get install --reinstall procps does solve the problem Even with live-tools gone from a system there should not be in any way it can or should keep a diversion to uptime I suggest clearing it in dpkg in some way A complete look at this issue and resolution can be seen here http://vsido.org/index.php?topic=849.msg9805#msg9805 -- Thank you, VastOne - Developer of VSIDO a debian sid based distro
