Package: ifupdown2 Version: 1.0~git20161101-1 Severity: serious Hi,
ifupdown doesn't use the diversions correctly 1. diverting conffiles does not work well, so just use Breaks against the bash-completion versions shipping the ifup etc. completion in /etc Do not forget to clean up the now obsolete diversions in /etc in the preinst or postinst! 2. unconditionally install the diversions, installing bash-completion after ifupdown2 breaks right now with a file overwrite error since the diversions are not in place (this is how I noticed the problems) (also upgrading ifupdown2 will suddenly install more diversions since it finds more of the files that could be diverted - because the installed ifupdown2 version shipped them) 3. unconditionally install/remove the diversions without checking whether they exist, running dpkg-divert multiple times is idempotent Andreas
