I attempted to reproduce your problem. These are the steps I used to reproduce: 1) pbuilder --login 2) replace sources.list with the following line: deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20110623T151535Z/ sid main 3) update and install dovecot-imapd 4) modify /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf 5) replace sources.list with the original 6) aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade 7) notice that my changes are preserved. This procedure was done using precisely the same versions (1:2.0.13-1.1 and 1:2.0.15-1). > Apparently ucf doesn't handle this situation well (a package being > renamed), so some manual hacks in the postinst are in order to prevent > this from happening. You are correct in that ucf does not handle this situation well. However the package maintainer has foreseen this and has added his own hooks for precisely this situation. Can you give any other hint on how to reproduce the problem? Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
