                File `diversions' are a way of forcing dpkg not to install a file into its location, but to a `diverted' location. Diversions can be used through the Debian package scripts to move a file away when it causes a conflict. System administrators can also use it to override some package's configuration file, or whenever some files (which aren't marked as ‘conffiles') need to be preserved by dpkg, when installing a newer version of a package which contains those files.

                    apt-listchanges is a tool to show what has been changed in a new version of a Debian package, as compared to the version currently installed on the system.
