severity 543199 important tag 543199 moreinfo tag 543199 unreproducible thanks
Hi, first of all, it's a partial upgrade issue 'only', therefore lowering the severity. second, i cannot reproduce it in the default case, where the user has not modified default/tftpd-hpa by hand. ---snip--- r...@debian:~# ls tftpd-hpa_5.0-3_i386.deb tftpd-hpa_5.0-5_i386.deb r...@sdebian:~# dpkg -P tftpd-hpa dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove tftpd-hpa which isn't installed. r...@debian:~# dpkg -i tftpd-hpa_5.0-3_i386.deb Selecting previously deselected package tftpd-hpa.
