Hum, this doesn't rename the existing file. So when you install your custom lib, you overwrite the packaged files. The diverted file are only installed on the next package upgrade. > Seems to have worked just fine since May 2010, and I've not touched it > since then. It's a shame there's not more information I can give you. Hum I remember Steve Langasek saying that diverting libraries in the same directory causes troubles because ldconfig/ld.so doesn't care of the extension and might be confused by seeing the same SONAME twice. I don't see how it could have resulted in loosing files and/or diversions but maybe someone else can. Maybe we should also add some sort logging to dpkg-divert just like we added logging to update-alternatives. This would at least give some supplementary information for cases like this one.
