Package: dpkg Version: 1.20.7.1 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: rvandegr...@debian.org
dpkg-divert is too sensitive to the order of the command line parameters. Since I only use it rarely, I almost always run into: # dpkg-divert --add /wooo --divert /yeah --rename dpkg-divert: warning: please specify --no-rename explicitly, the default will change to --rename in 1.20.x dpkg-divert: error: --add needs a single argument Use --help for help about diverting files. The fix is to move --add last. But neither the error nor the manpage makes that clear.
