Bug#631245: lynx-cur postinst fails due to old diversion by lynx-ssl
Hi, I think you are right. You might already done so but do the followings fix the problem? dpkg-divert --remove --rename --divert /usr/bin/lynx.nossl /usr/bin/lynx dpkg-divert --remove --rename --divert /usr/share/man/man1/lynx.nossl.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/lynx.1.gz I do have a methusalem installation (prior to 1997 I believe), and I did have the /usr/bin/lynx.nossl diversion, and doing these two suggestions (followed by purge of lynx and lynx-cur) was the part that finally fixed an apt-get install lynx run. Probably the only thing that's left to wonder now is whether there's something useful to be done about this upgrade issue programmatically, or whether this bug report's content is sufficient documentation for this ancient fact.

Bug#631245: lynx-cur postinst fails due to old diversion by lynx-ssl
Hi Sven and I'm very sorry for such a long delay.

Nice. The lynx and lynx-ssl packages have been installed since day 1, which may be the cause for this bug. During the postinst of lynx-cur I get: (snip) This erro is correct, there is no /usr/bin/lynx, but a lynx.nossl: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1382956 21.

You have not used command lynx for long time? Since Woody was the last Debian version to include lynx-ssl and this package is long gone, I suspect an error in the postrm of the old lynx-ssl package which failed to remove the diversion.

Bug#631245: lynx-cur postinst fails due to old diversion by lynx-ssl
Package: lynx-cur Version: 2.8.8dev.9-2 Severity: normal Hi! I have system which was installed with Debian Slink in 2000, upgraded to then-frozen Potato and has since been kept at a daily updated Sid. The lynx and lynx-ssl packages have been installed since day 1, which may be the cause for this bug.
