Package: courier-mta
Version: 0.57.0-1
Severity: important
Upon an upgrade of courier-mta today, it overwrote my esmtp PAM file without
asking!
During installation, the following line was displayed;
"Installing new version of config file /etc/pam.d/esmtp ..."
Too bad I already had a customized esmtp file. This cut off my ability to
submit new mails via authenticated relay over the MSA port.
If my memory is correct, this isn't the first time this has happened, though
I'm not positive.
Expected behavior is for the install script to ask before overwriting a
user-modified configuration file. I'm pretty sure this is in policy somewhere.

tags 454111 + unreproducible
thanks
Hopefully I did that right...
This bug can be closed out.
I'm unable to reproduce this problem. I'm not sure what the cause was.
I'm sure that it happened, as I have ample proof of that, but I'm not
sure why. Since nobody else has complained, it was probably just
something I did or specific to my host.
