[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 999378] Re: package wesnoth-1.8-core 1:1.8.5-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Gerfried Fuchs]

Actually, from looking closer, I've done it (almost) properly in 1.10
and never fixed the code in 1.8.  If you install wesnoth-1.8 *before*
you install wesnoth-1.10 (which is the usual flow of things, since
wesnoth-1.8 is the older stable release ...) it works and the divert
will stay with wesnoth-1.8.  If you though install wesnoth-1.10 *before*
you install wesnoth-1.8 you stumble into the issue.  Installation order
is important here, so if you want to have both versions around, first
deinstall wesnoth-1.10, then install wesnoth-1.8 first and wesnoth-1.10
second.

While I don't really understand why one would install wesnoth-1.8 after
installing wesnoth-1.10, the fix for wesnoth-1.10 is like mentioned
above dropping the whole divert handling, which I'll prepare within the
next few days.  It will flow into the soonish to be uploaded 1.10.3
version, and I'll extract that part and run it through the stable update
process.

Enjoy!
Rhonda
