Thanks Sven!

I want to install "naemon" (meta package) from this repo on my hosted
Debian/Squeeze monitoring box and it failed with:

| Unpacking naemon-livestatus (from .../naemon-livestatus_0.0.1_i386.deb) ...
| dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/naemon-livestatus_0.0.1_i386.deb (--unpack):
|  trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/unixcat', which is also in package check-mk-livestatus 1.1.12p7-1~bpo60+1

... as there's already the official "check-mk-livestatus" package.

Quick fix for me:

| dpkg-divert --package naemon-livestatus --divert /usr/bin/unixcat.foo --rename /usr/bin/unixcat

which renames "/usr/bin/unixcat" from "check-mk-livestatus" to
"/usr/bin/unixcat.foo" and puts "naemon-livestatus" version of unixcat
to "/usr/bin/unixcat"

Why "check-mk-livestatus" AND "naemon-livestatus"? The first contains
the module for "nagios3" and "icinga" packages which is not compatible
with Nagios4/Naemon due to API changes.

To fix this I suggest to put "unixcat" from "naemon-livestatus" somewhere into
"/usr/lib/naemon/".

Bye

Sven
