Re: Does dpkg-divert work on conf files?



You are not supposed to divert conffiles, period. If you have a conffile
that is the same name as another package, then you must do one of the
following:

a) conflict/replace that package
 - or -
b) share a conffile with that package. This means that one package will
   have the main conffile, and the other must depend on that package to be
   installed.

You choose which is better for your package, and the one that it has
issues with.
