Bug#423864: dpkg-divert: filename is not absolute

[Daniel Jacobowitz]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.14.2
Severity: normal

# dpkg-divert --admindir /space/chroot/i686/var/lib/dpkg --local --add 
/usr/lib/librt.so
dpkg-divert: filename  is not absolute

Usage: dpkg-divert [option ...] command
...


As far as I can tell, this worked a week or two ago; I suspect it
broke in the recent upgrade.  Adding --divert
/usr/lib/librt.so.distrib works fine.

Hmm right, when switching the scripts to use strict and warnings I
initialized the variables for --divert and --package to an empty
string instead of an undef. Sorry about that. Fixed now in dpkg' svn.

thanks,
guillem
