Bun nowebm in Lenny is just a transitional package, so it doesn't contain /etc/.../50nowebm.el. (In fact, no package contains that file.) So when upgrading, dpkg doesn't want to remove 50nowebm.el because it's a conffile, and it seems like it doesn't want to remove it when purging either, because it's not in the new package. So, is there something I can do about this other than adding something to postrm? Or is this a bug in dpkg? -- Hubert Chathi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA http://www.uhoreg.ca/ Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
