Package: lintian Version: 2.5.9 Severity: normal When you use a dpkg-divert invocation like this one:
dpkg-divert --rename --divert $file.original --add $file Lintian triggers an error package-uses-local-diversion. But this error is wrong since those calls are in maintainer scripts and thus DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE is set. When --package and --local are both missing, and when $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE is set, dpkg-divert assumes --package $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE. This is the case since dpkg 1.16.0 (i.e. since wheezy's dpkg). -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (150, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: amd64 Kernel: Linux 3.4-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.22-6.1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-3 ii diffstat 1.55-3 ii file 5.11-1 ii gettext 0.18.1.1-9 ii hardening-includes 2.2 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.26+b1 ii libc-bin 2.13-33 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.31-1+b2 ii libdpkg-perl 1.16.5+0~1339924755.72~1.gbp0ede94 ii libemail-valid-perl 0.190-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.91-1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 ii liburi-perl 1.60-1 ii locales 2.13-33 ii man-db 2.6.2-1 ii patchutils 0.3.2-1.1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.14.2-12 ii unzip 6.0-6 lintian recommends no packages.
