Bug#29312: error in upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/include/linux/kerneld.h'

["Jens B. Jorgensen" <jjorgens@bdsinc.com>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.31
Severity: important

Some weird errors occur when "diverting" files. dpkg seems to get
garbage characters for file, eg.

Unpacking replacement modutils ...
dpkg: error processing modutils_2.1.121-8.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/include/linux/kerneld.h', which is the
diverted version of `' (package:modutils)
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

 *and*

Preparing to replace libpaperg 1.0.3-10 (using libpaperg_1.0.3-11.deb)
...
Unpacking replacement libpaperg ...
dpkg: error processing libpaperg_1.0.3-11.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite `/usr/sbin/paperconfig', which is the diverted
version of `ÄÄ' (package:libpaperg)

This happened on a few other packages but these where the ones I got.
