Bug#492450: dpkg-divert: rename involves overwriting (...) not allowed

[Nelson A. de Oliveira]

Package: vim
Version: 2:7.2b.001-1
Severity: important

Hi!

While trying to upgrade from vim 1:7.1.314-3 to experimental's 2:7.2b.001-1,
I've got this error message:

(...)

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of vim:
 vim depends on vim-runtime (= 2:7.2b.001-1); however:
  Version of vim-runtime on system is 1:7.1.314-3.
dpkg: error processing vim (--configure):

Purging vim and installing the experimental version is OK
Purging and installing the unstable is OK
Upgrading fails.

Can I do something to help, please?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Nelson
