Package: apache2 Version: 2.4.10-10+deb8u5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
is it possible to modify the function obsolete_conffile_exists() in the `preinst' script? I'm asking this with the following background: We're having the following configuration files in our apache environment: FILE /etc/apache2/sites-available/default.conf DIR /etc/apache2/sites-available/default FILES /etc/apache2/sites-available/default/*.conf During the (jessie) upgrade process between 2.4.10-10+deb8u4 and 2.4.10-10+deb8u5 `our' directory `/etc/apache2/sites-available/default' was renamed to `/etc/apache2/sites-available/default.dpkg-remove'. The restart of the apache then failed because the configuration file `/etc/apache2/sites-available/default/default.conf' still referenced to the moved file/directory `/etc/apache2/sites-available/default/default.conf'. Please consider the following changes: 1) Replace the check against real files with `-f' instead of `-e' (in the `preinst/obsolete_conffile_exists()' function). 2) Skip the whole obsolete-file-check if the upgrade is between two apache 2.4.X instances. Thanks for your help
