Package: dpkg-repack Version: 1.36 Severity: important hi,
I was playing with dpkg-repack and I noted that it does not repack the list of conffiles for example, 'libpam-runtime' and 'libpam-modules' have conffiles , indeed there exist files /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpam-runtime.conffiles and ..modules... but the list of conffiles is not repacked # ar p libpam-modules_1.1.3-6_amd64.deb control.tar.gz | tar tzvf - drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2011-12-06 13:28 ./ -rw-r--r-- root/root 1268 2011-12-06 13:28 ./control -rwxr-xr-x root/root 706 2011-11-07 04:48 ./postinst -rw-r--r-- root/root 12867 2011-11-07 04:48 ./templates -rwxr-xr-x root/root 259 2011-11-07 04:48 ./preinst -rw-r--r-- root/root 7083 2011-11-07 04:48 ./md5sums -rwxr-xr-x root/root 206 2011-11-07 04:48 ./postrm # ar p libpam-runtime_1.1.3-6_all.deb control.tar.gz | tar tzvf - drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2011-12-06 13:28 ./ -rwxr-xr-x root/root 92 2011-11-07 04:48 ./prerm -rw-r--r-- root/root 738 2011-12-06 13:28 ./control -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1282 2011-11-07 04:48 ./postinst -rw-r--r-- root/root 31377 2011-11-07 04:48 ./templates -rw-r--r-- root/root 4944 2011-11-07 04:48 ./md5sums -rwxr-xr-x root/root 517 2011-11-07 04:48 ./postrm This is an important bug: 'dpkg' has a quite different behaviour depending on if a file is a conffile or not a. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dpkg-repack depends on: ii perl 5.14.2-5 dpkg-repack recommends no packages. dpkg-repack suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Andrea Mennucc "E' un mondo difficile.
