diverting the diversion (serious question)

[Lorenzo]

Dear all,

Does anyone know what happens if two non-conflicting packages (let's
say A and B) are diverting the same file from a third package (C)?
I guess maybe if A and B are diverting the file to a different name,
the diverted file could flip when A and/or B are upgraded?

not a theoretical question: I have the same issue with logrotate and
rsyslogd as there was in o-s-s[1], but o-s-s already diverts the file in
/usr/lib/rsyslog so I was wondering if runit-services and o-s-s
could cooperate by agree to use an identical version of the diverted
file..
(I would really like to fix this without imposing a dependency nor a
conflict between o-s-s and runit-services)

Best Regards,
Lorenzo
