Hm, the dpkg-divert code in .preinst/.postrm hasn't changed since
2.18-2 (August 2009).
And I can't reproduce it:
# apt-get --purge remove libmodule-corelist-perl
[..]
Removing libmodule-corelist-perl ...
Removing 'diversion of /usr/bin/corelist to /usr/bin/corelist.bundled by
libmodule-corelist-perl'
Removing 'diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/corelist.1.gz to
/usr/share/man/man1/corelist.bundled.1.gz by libmodule-corelist-perl'
Purging configuration files for libmodule-corelist-perl ...
[..]
The interesting question is how you managed to get into a situation
where the package is installed without getting the diversions (from
the .preinst)? - Or where one is missing and the other is "a different file"?
Anyone any ideas?
Cheers,
gregor, installing libmodule-corelist-perl again, and seeing
the two diversions passing by on the screen :)
