I have uploaded your logs you sent to me here:
http://alioth.debian.org/~carnil-guest/logs/tmp/

Yes, if the diversions is empty it causes exacltly that. However
looking at the logs, the problem seems to be raised up earlier than
the upgrade in regard of libmodule-corelist-perl, but I do not see
right now which may be the cause (Maybe the binutils package).

In fact looking at your term.log I see that you use binutils from
experimental, is that correct? One of the previous versions in
experimental of binutils-multiarch where affected from a bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/581156

@binutils-Mantainers, I reassign the bug to binutils, agreeing? I'm
not quite sure that it is exaclty the above bug, but the problems
seems to appear on one installation afterwards the binutils-multiarch
packages, see the uploaded logs.
