Package: release-notes Severity: normal
-- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash During dist-upgrade the user is asked several times if they wish to install new config-files provided by the maintainer of the packet, keep their old config files, see both files to compare. The default answer is "N" - i.e. keep the old config files, and this is usually save. But users run into troubles, when they do not install the new config-files for Exim4 4.69. They are left with a broken exim4 they cannot even uninstall easyly. see eg: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-exim4-users/2009-March/001587.html http://www.mail-archive.com/exim-us...@exim.org/msg25245.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-german/2009/02/msg01318.html So I suggest that some warning be included into the Release notes, that exim4-users should choose the new config-files unless they really know what they are doing.
