Hey. Sorry, your reply slipped somehow through.
The problem is not the removal of the file, which indeed happens in postrm,... but that it's still wrongly registered as dpkg conffile. I think the proper solution here would be to (on the next upgrade of the package): - cp -a the current file to some mktmp location - use dpkg-maintscript-helper's rm_conffile to remove/unregister the file - move the copy back to original location (better test, before uploading that) Should yield a configuration file with the same content, but not longer registered as a conffile. Cheers, Chris.
