es.abr was a conffile in the jessie ucto, that needs additional treatment. The solution might be using mv_conffile from dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) in a .maintscript to move the conffile to the new name spa.abr and the new package (es.abr is now a symlink), but Andreas should comment on that since he knows this better. > Regards, cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
