In my DRI CVS snapshot packages, I'd like to divert libGL from xlibmesa3. I
expected that to be a simple matter of diverting
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2, but the result was this:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24 2002-12-07 10:54 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2.nodri-trunk
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 805452 2002-12-05 20:55 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 491608 2002-11-23 09:05 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2.nodri-trunk
dpkg seems to adjust symlinks to diverted files, which kinda makes sense
(except it doesn't adjust /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 ->
../X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2). So I tried to divert the symlink as well:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24 2002-12-07 10:54 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2.nodri-trunk
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 805452 2002-12-05 20:55 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 491608 2002-11-23 09:05 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2.nodri-trunk
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12 2002-11-30 17:17 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.nodri-trunk -> libGL.so.1.2
No luck, it diverts the unchanged symlink but still adjusts the replacement.
Any ideas how to fix or at least work around this appreciated.

Actually, it looks like it has everything to do with ldconfig... thanks
for pointing this out. I guess it interprets the diversion suffix as the
patchlevel (the problem doesn't occur with a library with a
three-component version).
Using a different name for the diversion should work, closing the bug.
