While both are a result of a corrupt /var/lib/dpkg/diversions, the
root cause is probably different as the file wasn't empty in the older
report. I think they should be handled separately, so unmerging.

This definitely isn't normal, and it is not a bug in perl-doc (or
libmodule-corelist-perl or binutils for that matter) that its installation
fails if /var/lib/dpkg/diversions is corrupt. 

I see you also filed #592332, currently assigned to binutils, which
contains more discussion about this. I'm merging them instead. However,
I can't see how the binutils experimental packages could have caused this.

I suppose it's most likely a filesystem issue, but we can't really know
for sure. I've glared at the dpkg logs you sent but they don't help much.

Anyway, as you've been running upstream release candidate kernels and
packages from experimental, I don't really think this should be treated
as a release critical bug.  I suggest closing it as unreproducible but
will leave that to you or the binutils maintainers.
