[Bug 983187] Re: dpkg-divert: --add --rename --package shouldn't rename if owned by package

[Colin Watson]

I've sent a patch to the linked Debian bug.  While I appreciate the
urgency on this, I'd really prefer it to be acked upstream first; I'm
not comfortable with shoving my patch in without review.

** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)

Title:
  dpkg-divert: --add --rename --package shouldn't rename if owned by
  package

Status in dpkg:
  New
Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When calling dpkg-divert --add --rename --package <package>, the file
  being diverted is renamed regardless of owner.  If the file is owned
  by <package>, it really shouldn't be moved at all, but the diversion
  just added to the DB without any file ops.
