Package: aide Version: 0.15.1-2 Severity: normal I accidentally removed my aide.conf.d directory.
I thought that an "aptitude reinstall aide" would restore the directory. Nope. I thought that "aptitude purge aide; aptitude install aide" would do the trick. Nope. At least that time, I got the messages: Setting up aide-common (0.15.1-2+squeeze1) ... Not replacing deleted config file /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_sudo Not replacing deleted config file /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_apt-file Not replacing deleted config file /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_tetex-bin Not replacing deleted config file /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_alsa ... A little Googling reveals that this is likely a problem in the aide purge routine. Please refer to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=444076. After running ucf --purge on all of the files in /etc/aide/aide.conf.d, an aptitude purge aide; aptitude install aide resulted in the following output: Setting up aide-common (0.15.1-2+squeeze1) ... Creating config file /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_sudo with new version Creating config file /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_apt-file with new version Creating config file /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_tetex-bin with new version Creating config file /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_alsa with new version ... Another web page (http://mhalligan.com/not-replacing-deleted-config-file-or-why-the) indicates that aptitude -o DPkg::Options="--force-confmiss" reinstall aide would have worked too. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (600, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (90, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- Bill Wohler <woh...@newt.com> aka <bill.woh...@nasa.gov> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
