Help needed with libpaperg_1.0.3-10
Hi, a pair of days ago i have uploaded a new version of libpaper and libpaperg (version 1.0.3-10), to close a release critical bug: in the preinst of libpaperg i have added two diversions, since both libpaper and libpaperg contain the files /usr/sbin/paperconfig and /usr/bin/paperconf. Unfortunately, something is not working and i have received three bug reports: there are problems when upgrading from libpaperg_1.0.3-9 to libpaperg_1.0.3-10: this is the more interesting (bug#23644): Package: libpaperg Version: 1.0.3-9 Preparing to replace libpaperg 1.0.3-9 (using libpaperg_1.0.3-10.deb) ... Adding `diversion of /usr/bin/paperconf to /usr/bin/paperconf.libc5 by libpaperg' Adding `diversion of /usr/sbin/paperconfig to /usr/sbin/paperconfig.libc5 by libpaperg' Unpacking replacement libpaperg ... dpkg: error processing libpaperg_1.0.3-10.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/paperconf', which is the diverted version of `¼Z¨^ɸ×' (package:libpaperg) Errors were encountered while processing: libpaperg_1.0.3-10.deb E: Sub-process returned an error code Please notice the strange chars in the error message: i really do not know how this can be my fault! Moreover, I have tried to reproduce the bug, with no results: all works correctly on my machine. So, i really need your help with this bug: i am appending the preint script for libpaperg_1.0.3.10 (that introduces the diversions). Thank you, Marco libpaperg.preinst --- #! /bin/sh set -e FIRST_VERSION_WITH_DIVERT=1.0.3-10 if [ $1 = install ]; then dpkg-divert --package libpaperg --add --rename \ --divert /usr/bin/paperconf.libc5 /usr/bin/paperconf dpkg-divert --package libpaperg --add --rename \ --divert /usr/sbin/paperconfig.libc5 /usr/sbin/paperconfig fi if [ $1 = upgrade ] /usr/bin/dpkg --compare-versions $2 lt $FIRST_VERSION_WITH_DIVERT ; then dpkg-divert --package libpaperg --add \ --divert /usr/bin/paperconf.libc5 /usr/bin/paperconf dpkg-divert --package libpaperg --add \ --divert /usr/sbin/paperconfig.libc5 /usr/sbin/paperconfig fi exit 0 - -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Jason I have CCd you because this is what caused the apt/dpkg problem I mailed you about. Perhaps you can experiment.

I did not file a bug report because I was not sure which package was at fault, but libpaperg was the last package looked at before dpkg terminated.
