I'm not complaining about anything. I've fixed my local problem simply by reinstalling 'diff' to have the missing binaries back. This bug report is about improving and essential package from Debian (diffutils) which can override some binaries from another binary package (diff <= 2.8.1-12). I believe this can be prevented by declaring either of these: Conflicts: diff <= 2.8.1-12 or Breaks: diff <= 2.8.1-12 I'm no expert in dpkg fields or Debian policy, thus I cannot say which is better to avoid the situation when 'diffutils' is installed but diff=2.8.1-12 is not upgraded automatically to the same version as 'diffutils'.
