Package: bitlbee
Version: 1.2.3-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
this seems related to #514148.
After upgrading bitlbee no longer listened on the port i configured in
bitlbee.conf but uses BITLBEE_PORT from /etc/default/bitlbee.
If configuration via bitlbee.conf is no longer supported (though i would
prefer it would) you should at least remove the relevant configuration
options to avoid confusion.
Thanks,
Andreas

Hello,
I consider this bug "fixed". I added a clear comment to bitlbee.conf
saying that the Debian init script overrides this value with what's in
/etc/default/bitlbee.
I agree that it'd be nicer to not have this hack at all, but for that
I'd have to do some fragile in-place bitlbee.conf editing in the
maintainer script which I'm not too excited about. :-/
I'm open to suggestions on how this could be done easily and reliably.
Cheers,
Wilmer van der Gaast.
