I get the above result on three completely independent machines. The
MD5SUM of the DEB is the same as the one Bas used. He can install it
on one machine but not another. It *does* *fail* to install in
pbuilder.
The weirdest thing though is that
cirrus:..fluxbox-0.9.12/debian> grep dpkg-divert /var/lib/dpkg/info/{black,flux}box.* || echo no
no
and yet it just works on some machines and not on others.
Here is an IRC transcript:
01:21 < madduck_> ifvoid: ping
01:24 < ifvoid> madduck_: pong
01:24 < madduck_> ifvoid: am i on crack?
01:25 < ifvoid> I don't know

01:25 < ifvoid> but I just installed a fresh sid machine this evening
01:25 < madduck_> diversion by fluxbox to: /usr/bin/bsetroot.blackbox
01:25 < ifvoid> and I refused to install both flucbox and blackbox
01:26 < madduck_> don't make me doubt my sanity.

01:28 < madduck_> please verify
01:28 < ifvoid> jup, same
01:29 < madduck_> just tried another machine
01:29 < madduck_> same result
01:29 < ifvoid> ok, elmme try an older machine
01:29 < madduck_> but grep dpkg-divert /var/lib/dpkg/info/fluxbox.*
01:29 < madduck_> does not return anything.
01:29 < ifvoid> grep: /var/lib/dpkg/info/fluxbox.*: No such file or directory
01:29 < ifvoid> weird
01:29 < madduck_> uh, what?
01:30 < ifvoid> oh, it's not installed ;)
01:31 < ifvoid> kalypso:/home/bas# grep dpkg-divert /var/lib/dpkg/info/fluxbox.*
01:31 < ifvoid> kalypso:/home/bas#
01:31 < ifvoid> hm, on another machine, it installs fine
01:31 < madduck_> but why is it not in /var/lib/dpkg/info???
01:31 < madduck_> ifvoid: did you also install blackbox
01:31 < ifvoid> jup, both
01:31 < madduck_> so now?
01:32 < madduck_> this is fucked up :)
01:32 < ifvoid> works fine on one machine, but not on another
01:32 < madduck_> may i paste this IRC discussion into a mail to d-r?
01:32 < ifvoid> sure
