Package: vim
Version: 1:6.3-067+2
Severity: normal

When upgrading vim and as a consequence removing kvim I get:

(Reading database ... 208794 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing kvim ...
dpkg-divert: mismatch on divert-to
  when removing `diversion of /usr/bin/vim to /usr/bin/vim.org by kvim'
  found `diversion of /usr/bin/vim to /usr/bin/vim.old by kvim'
dpkg: error processing kvim (--purge):
 subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 kvim

I think think this bug should be RC, but kvim available wasn't in woody and
I'm not really sure about the why's of the above diversion.
