Package: ifenslave-2.6 Version: 1.1.0-17 I found the following two issues while looking at the package in Ubuntu, though I believe they are generic issues. Probably not very important as updating from version 1.1.0-6 is rather rare.
In the preinst file in prep_mv_conffile, the old md5sum is read with dpkg-query but the package name used is ifenslave (not ifenslave-2.6), so the old md5sum is always empty and the config file gets never removed, even when the files are identical. In the postinst file the configuration step tries to preserve an old config in /etc/network/if-up.d/ifenslave as the new /etc/network/if-pre-up.d. However, the package installs new files in both locations. So at postinst time the old config file would already be replaced and moving it only moves the wrong file. As said before, both issues should only take effect if the old package is 1.1.0-6 or older when upgrading. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
