New steps to reproduce. In a clean wheezy chroot: # apt-get install live-tools Selecting previously unselected package live-tools.

Unfortunately, at this point uptime is broken because the original diverted file is gone. Now if we purge live-tools and reinstall from wheezy: # dpkg --purge live-tools ... # dpkg-divert --list | grep live-tools # ls -l /usr/bin/uptime* ls: cannot access /usr/bin/uptime*: No such file or directory # apt-get install -t wheezy live-tools ...
