[Bug 983187] Re: dpkg-divert: --add --rename --package shouldn't rename if owned by package

[Adam Conrad]

This was fixed in dpkg in Quantal with the merge of 1.16.3, however I've
opened a Precise task since I suspect we might want to backport this
before 12.04.1, so we can hand-wavingly rely on this for LTS->LTS
upgrades.  Maybe.

** Also affects: dpkg (Ubuntu Precise)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Fix Released

  dpkg-divert: --add --rename --package shouldn't rename if owned by
  package

Status in dpkg:
  Fix Released
Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “dpkg” source package in Precise:

Bug description:
  When calling dpkg-divert --add --rename --package <package>, the file
  being diverted is renamed regardless of owner.  If the file is owned
  by <package>, it really shouldn't be moved at all, but the diversion
  just added to the DB without any file ops.
