Package: binutils-multiarch
Version: 2.20.51.20100227-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package uninstallable
When I try to install binutils-multiarch from experimental, it errors out:
Adding `diversion of /usr/lib/libopcodes.a to /usr/lib/libopcodes-single.a by
binutils-multiarch'
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/binutils-multiarch_2.20.51.20100227-1_i386.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/elfedit', which is also in package binutils
2.20.51.20100227-1
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Probably this is because in version 2.21, as binutils/NEWS declares,
* A new tool - elfedit - has been added to directly manipulate ELF format
binaries.
This patch (untested) adds it to the list of diverted binaries. Maybe it
could save you some time.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Subject: binutils-multiarch: add diversion for /usr/bin/elfedit
A new tool has been added to binutils; divert it like the rest of
them. Without this diversion, because of this file conflict the
updated binutils-multiarch does not install cleanly.
