When i try to install thunderbird 1:115.10.1-1, i get this error: ``` Unpacking thunderbird (1:115.10.1-1) over (1:115.9.0-1+b1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/thunderbird_1%3a115.10.1-1_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/thunderbird/librnp.so', which is also in package libsequoia-octopus-librnp 1.8.1-2 dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/thunderbird_1%3a115.10.1-1_amd64.deb ``` This looks to me like the octopus's dpkg-diversion is supposed to work to avoid this, but i don't see it happening. This seems to be due to the way the preinst script adds the diversion: ``` if [ "$1" != "upgrade" ] ; then add_diversion /usr/lib/thunderbird/librnp.so fi ``` i had version 1.8.1-1 installed before 1.8.1-2, which meant that i upgraded, and i didn't get the diversion added: grep octopus /var/log/dpkg.log.1 shows: 2024-03-26 06:38:49 status installed libsequoia-octopus-librnp:amd64 1.8.1-1 2024-03-28 10:27:08 upgrade libsequoia-octopus-librnp:amd64 1.8.1-1 1.8.1-2 Why does the package exclude the diversion when preinst runs on upgrade? i see the same issue in the use of dpkg-divert in gpg-from-sq and gpgv-from-sq also, btw. Compare that to the use of dpkg-divert in /var/lib/dpkg/info/perl-doc.preinst, for example, which triggers on both "install" and on "upgrade". I worked around this on my system by removing libsequoia-octopus-librnp, upgrading thunderbird, and then reinstalling libsequoia-octopus-librnp, but it seems like the goal should be to not have to make the user do that. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (200, 'unstable-debug'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.6.15-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
