You have to supply a _new_ file name as the first argument, since this is what the diverted file will be renamed to, e.g. $ sudo dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert --local \ /usr/share/java/vncviewer-3.3.2.jar.distrib \ /usr/share/java/vncviewer-3.3.3r2.jar Then you can copy/symlink/rename your /usr/share/java/vncviewer-4.1-local.jar to vncviewer-3.3.3r2.jar.
