Right, because that's part of the invariant of moving a conffile. Here we have a conffile that stopped being provided, and which gets renamed for the user convenience. So why not just move the conffile manually? The dpkg-maintscript-helper is here to help deal with modified conffiles and to get a proper prompt, but that's not required here. > The attached patch solves the problem for me. > > Thanks for applying ASAP, Thanks for the patch! Although I don't see this being accepted for jessie anyway, and because it's using an interface for something else it was designed for, I'm not sure if it makes sense to support. But as the patch is really trivial, I'm open to be convinced otherwise. Thanks, Guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
