DESCRIPTION
File `diversions' are a way of forcing dpkg not to install a file into its location, but to a `diverted' location. Diversions can be used through the Debian package scripts to move a file away when it causes a conflict. System administrators can also use it to override some package's configuration file, or whenever some files (which aren't marked as 'conffiles') need to be preserved by dpkg, when installing a newer version of a package which contains those files.dpkg-divert is the utility used to set up and update the list of diversions. It functions in three basic modes - adding, removing, and listing diversions. The options are --add, --remove, and --list, respectively. Additionally, it can print out the real name for a diverted file. Other options (listed below) may also be specified.
OPTIONS
- --admindir <directory>
- Set the dpkg data directory to <directory> (default: /var/lib/dpkg).
- --divert <divert-to>
- <divert-to> is the name used by other packages' versions.
- --help
- Output the version and the short usage instructions, and exit successfully.
- --local
- Specifies that all packages' versions are diverted.
- --package <package>
- <package> is the name of a package whose copy of <file> will not be diverted.
- --quiet
- Quiet mode, i.e. no verbose output.
- --rename
- Actually move the file aside (or back). dpkg-divert will abort operation in case the destination file already exists.
- --test
- Test mode, i.e. don't actually perform any changes, just demonstrate.
- --version
- Output program name and version and exit successfully.
NOTES
When adding, default is --local and --divert <original>.distrib. When removing, --package or --local and --divert must match if specified.Directories can't be diverted with dpkg-divert.
Care should be taken when diverting shared libraries, ldconfig (8) creates a symbolic link based on the DT_SONAME field embedded in the library. Because ldconfig doesn't honour diverts (only dpkg does), if a diverted library has the same SONAME as the undiverted one the symlink may end up pointing at the diverted library.
FILES
- /var/lib/dpkg/diversions
- File which contains the current list of diversions of the system. It is located in the dpkg administration directory, along with other files important to dpkg, such as `status' or `available'.
Note: dpkg-divert preserves the old copy of this file, with extension "-old", before replacing it with the new one.
