Package: fai-client
Severity: normal
fcopy set the atime and the mtime of a copied file as the mtime of the
original file in the config space.
If the original file remains unchanged, but some changes are made in
the preinst script, the mtime of the resulting file is reset.
This can break things: other utilities, like make, don't notice the
change and do nothing.
The mtime is reset even in the case the file is preserved (last
modification by preinst is the same as the previous), so the file
mtime can jump back when a file is installed/changed/preserved by a
preinst script.
Maybe this a minor issue (for make it is, next change mtime is updated
and make will run), but in some corner case this can hurt.
