tags 477773 patch
thanks
Manoj,
Somehow I missed your reply back in April; you're right that this should
have been reported as wishlist.
I see that this has been marked as wontfix. In case you're willing to
have this feature but aren't willing to write a patch to implement it,
I've attached a patch to add this functionality to ucf. The patch causes
ucf to follow dpkg-divert, but supports configuring it to ignore
diversions placed by a particular package by using the -P|--package option
(this is in analogy with how dpkg itself follows diversions except those
placed by the package currently being installed).
Only packages that themselves perform diversions on the files they manage
via ucf would need to use the -P option.
By the way, the patch can be substantially cleaned up once #458012 is
fixed.
-Tim Abbott
