Package: dpkg Version: 1.14.18 Severity: normal Hi,
dpkg-divert can't divert files in (currently) non-existing directories: ====================================================================== # dpkg-divert --rename --add /boot/a/a.txt Adding `local diversion of /boot/a/a.txt to /boot/a/a.txt.distrib' dpkg-divert: error checking `/boot/a/a.txt.distrib': No such file or directory # dpkg-divert --rename --add /boot/a.txt Adding `local diversion of /boot/a.txt to /boot/a.txt.distrib' ====================================================================== Scenario: A package contains a file to be diverted. It is located in a subdirectory which is also contained in another package. Unfortunately, the other package isn't installed when the first package is installed and running "dpkg-divert --add" in its preinst script. At this point, the described directory (with the file to be diverted) doesn't exist at all, yet, leading to the above error. Thanks for considering. bye, Roland -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-rt1 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii coreutils 6.10-6 The GNU core utilities ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dpkg recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
