[Bug 2028879] Re: Lack of default dpkg diverts causes autopkgtest failure

[Benjamin Drung]

The integration test should be skipped in case there is no diversion:
https://github.com/canonical/apport/pull/214

For Ubuntu, we should pull in something with diversion to have this test
do something useful.

Title:
  Lack of default dpkg diverts causes test_get_file_package_diversion to
  fail

Status in Apport:
  In Progress
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  tests/integration/test_packaging_apt_dpkg.py::test_get_file_package_diversion
  fails if it doesn't detect any dpkg diversions. Apparently something
  (possibly dash?) stopped diverting something, so now there are no
  diversions in the autopkgtest environment and therefore this test
  fails.

  One option is to add something that does divert something, eg. vim, to
  the test dependencies. This fixes the issue for now, but isn't really
  a permanent solution.
