Package: ucf Version: 2.002 Severity: minor Hello,
the problem is easy to reproduce: > root < @debian:/tmp$ locate fooma > a > root < @debian:/tmp$ ucf /tmp/a /tmp/b Creating config file /tmp/b with new version > root < @debian:/tmp$ ucf --purge /tmp/b > root < @debian:/tmp$ ucf /tmp/a /tmp/b Now a Debconf dialog appears telling that a new version of the localy changed file /tmp/b exists. What is wrong? The file has not been removed. This is an inconsistent usage of the --purge term (see dpkg). This either should be a real inverse function of the install command (read: removes that config file immediately) OR ucf should not display this message if the two files are absolutely identical. Displaying it simply does not make sense. And the behavior of --purge WRT destination file removal should be documented in the manpage anyways.
