Bug#214699: dpkg-divert: appears to copy symlink and leaves old one there [libxrender1]



severity 214699 important
retitle 214699 dpkg-divert: should warn that diverting libraries is tricky
stop

We have determined that the problem with xrender not diverting was due
to the fact that ldconfig was regenerating the symlink automatically.
The dpkg-divert manpage should mention that diverting libraries must be
done so that lib*so* (or whatever ldconfig matches against) does not
match otherwise ldconfig will regenerate the symlink.
