Here's a transcript of me testing xft 2.1.2-6, which gets rid of some
diversions.
As you can see, I ran into some problems when upgrading libxft-dev
2.1.2-5 (which used dpkg-divert) to libxft-dev 2.1.2-6 (which removes
them), then downgrading to 2.1.2-5 and trying to re-upgrade to 2.1.2-6.
Am I using diversions wrong? Is this a bug in dpkg-divert?
