reopen 608968 thanks I've been encountering similar errors when attempting to upgrade from 0.9~rc2-2 to 0.9~rc2-3 or (now) 0.9-1, and would suggest adjusting zutils's preinst script to establish the diversions whenever they're absent, even when upgrading from an older version.
Here's the sequence of events, AFAICT: - ftpmaster approves zutils, with the side effect of letting in zutils_0.3-1_all.deb in addition to zutils_0.9~rc2-2_i386.deb. - I see an interesting new package called zutils and proceed to install it, but wind up with 0.3-1 because 0.9~rc2-2 isn't yet available on my architecture (amd64). - I upgrade to 0.9~rc2-2; the preinst doesn't establish any diversions because I was technically upgrading, and I see no file conflicts because zutils still installs into /usr/bin. - I attempt to upgrade further and run into conflicts. I acknowledge that I can work around this bug easily enough by temporarily uninstalling zutils, but would still recommend making its preinst script more robust; could you please do so?
