--- Begin Message ---Package: util-vserver Version: 0.30.214-3 Severity: serious File: /var/lib/dpkg/info/util-vserver.postinst The postinst script unconditionally removes /etc/vserver{,s}.conf on every configuration. Since the configuration is apparently preserved by sourcing the files and creating a symlink in place of their content, this is okay. However the package both includes and removes the conffile vservers.conf which is not allowed. It's is also not okay if VSERVERS_ROOT and VSERVER_ROOT aren't the only things that were ever specified in those files, or if something else *could* have been (legitimately?) added there. Preferably the files aren't removed if anything else is there: for f in /etc/vserver.conf /etc/vservers.conf do if grep -ve '^VSERVERS_ROOT' -e '^VSERVER_ROOT' "$f" >/dev/null then echo "$0: warning: not removing obsolete "$f" else echo "$0: removing obsolete conffile: "$f" rm -fv -- "$f" fi >&2 done The same problem with these removals: |# Remove old startup scripts |rm -f /etc/init.d/vservers-legacy |rm -f /etc/init.d/vservers-default |rm -f /etc/init.d/vprocunhide |rm -f /etc/default/util-vservere [...] |rm -f /etc/init.d/rebootmgr The situation is marginally different since these files aren't included in the current package version. These should be removed iff: 1. A version check with dpkg --compare-versions is true; and 2. the file exists; and 3. its md5sum matches the value stored in the dpkg status database for the most-recently installed copy of the file; and 4. echo "$0: removing obsolete conffile: $f" >&2 Otherwise, (assuming they're really obsolete), if (1) and (2) is true, the file should be renamed eg. to $f.dpkg-old and a message should be printed: echo "$0: renaming modified, obsolete conffile: $f" >&2 Since this is the postinst script, dpkg rollbacks don't need to be (or can't be) supported in those removals. However I wonder whether these manipulations shouldn't instead be performed in the preinst. There's another problem too: removal of the symlinks isn't preserved: run.rev vdirbase
