Bug#586984: lintian: wrong diversion-for-unknown-file */usr/lib/libGL.so preinst:34

[Andreas Beckmann <debian@abeckmann.de>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

after changing the dpkg-divert call from

    dpkg-divert --add --rename --package $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE --divert \
	/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.xlibmesa \
	/usr/lib/libGL.so > /dev/null

to

    dpkg-divert $DIVERT_QUIET --add --rename --package $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE --divert \
	/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.xlibmesa \
	/usr/lib/libGL.so

I'm getting a '*/' prepended to the file name:

    diversion-for-unknown-file */usr/lib/libGL.so preinst:34
