Is there something similar for apt? I think that automatically editing the user's config file is a Bad Idea, because, honestly, that their own file to deal with. Give them a message of important changes (or even just a "make sure to read the changelog, available at [url]") is much better, because it prevents problems such as these without taking away control. Forgive me if I misunderstand, but the recent versions of cherokee are only packaged for Sid (unstable), right? It's my thought that anyone who uses Sid should be prepared to invest time to fix things when upgrading software. I know that I never update my Arch machines if I don't have time to fix any issues that may crop up as a result, and I've accepted that as the price for having the bleeding-edge. -- James Pearson -- The best way to predict the future is to invent it. - Alan Kay
