Package: mysql-server-4.1
Severity: important

Upgrading from 4.0.24-10sarge1 to 5.0.16-1 I got a large number of
unnecessary conffile prompts.  I'm including a tarball of the files
that caused prompting.  Actually I'm not sure about the package names
or versions, so I'm also including my dpkg.log fragments.

This might be useful: http://www.dpkg.org/ConffileHandling

firefox and openssh also have this problem.

Hello Justin

It seems to me that this bug report is obsolete now, there must have
been a change in dpkg that solves the problem more elegant.

When updating from oldname version 1 to oldname version 2 which does no
longer provide the config file, dpkg still does assign the config file
to that package - as it would be orphaned else - but writes
        Conffiles:
          /etc/whatever.conf aaaaa1111aaaaa32222aaa obsolete
in /var/lib/dpkg/status.

When installing package newname which now provides the config file, the
transition goes smothly.

I've just checked it by installing mysql-common-4.1 (4.1.11a-4sarge2)
which provides /etc/mysql/my.cnf and then upgraded to the latest
mysql-server-5.0 (5.0.19-2) and mysql-common (5.0.19-2). There was
no question whatsoever and the configfile is now owned by mysql-common
(5.0.19-2).

bye,

-christian-
