  I'm somehow puzzled, because I've just tried to do this on a sid
chroot (installing the etch version then the sid version, then purging),
and I find nothing in /var/lib/dpkg/diversions, nor any trace of a
/usr/bin/rbqtapi left.

  What I find puzzling as well is the following lines from the log file
you attached:

7m15.1s DUMP:
  (Reading database ... 8289 files and directories currently installed.)
  Removing libqt4-ruby1.8 ...
  Removing `diversion of /usr/bin/rbqtapi to /usr/bin/rbqtapi.qt3 by
libqt4-ruby1.8'
  Removing `diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/rbqtapi.1.gz to
/usr/share/man/man1/rbqtapi.qt3.1.gz by libqt4-ruby1.8'
9m18.2s DUMP:
  (Reading database ... 5080 files and directories currently installed.)
  Removing libqt4-ruby1.8 ...
  Purging configuration files for libqt4-ruby1.8 ...
  No diversion `diversion of /usr/bin/rbqtapi to /usr/bin/rbqtapi.qt3 by
libqt4-ruby1.8', none removed
  No diversion `diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/rbqtapi.1.gz to
/usr/share/man/man1/rbqtapi.qt3.1.gz by libqt4-ruby1.8', none removed

  Together, they seem to indicate that the diversions were removed.
Could it be a false positive ? If not, do you have any idea of what is
causing the problem ?

  Cheers,
