Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.25 Severity: normal As the topic says, dpkg-divert should be able to divert symlinks to directories. For example, in the mailman package, there's the file
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root list 17 2007-02-14 05:11 /var/lib/mailman/locks -> ../../lock/mailman Now, I have it set up such that lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2007-02-11 00:57 /var/lib/mailman -> /srv/mailman Thus, the symlink as shipped by mailman is broken. I would like to be able to divert /var/lib/mailman/locks so that I can keep lrwxrwxrwx 1 root list 17 2007-02-14 05:11 /var/lib/mailman/locks -> /var/lock/mailman between package upgrades. Unfortunately, when I try to dpkg-divert /var/lib/mailman/locks, it complains that locks is a directory, when it's really only a symlink. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii coreutils 5.97-5.3 The GNU core utilities ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dpkg recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
