Same diversions problem again



>From a recent installation run:

Unpacking ppp-pam (from .../net/ppp-pam_2.3.2-2.deb) ...
Adding `diversion of /usr/sbin/pppd to /usr/sbin/pppd.ppp-pam by ppp-pam'
Preparing to replace ppp 2.3.2-1 (using .../net/ppp_2.3.2-2.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement ppp ...
(Noting disappearance of ppp-pam, which has been completely replaced.)

This looks like the same problem that gnuchess and gnuchess-book had.
Note that both ppp-pam and gnuchess-book contain *only* the file
they divert.

My guess is that the diversion does not update the file-list cached by
the currently-running dpkg, and that causes dpkg to think that ppp
has overwritten all of ppp-pam.
