There are mostly zsh, vim, git and hg configs in that package and as everyone knows, you use mksh, jupp and cvs. :-) > > Will check. Ok, so installing a virgin VM with Wheezy, installing zsh, adding a line saying "true" to every file in /etc/zsh/ and then switching to jessie and saying "apt-get install zsh" to upgrade zsh from 4.3.17-1 to 5.0.2-3 works fine. It just asks about a modified zshrc: [...] Setting up zsh-common (5.0.2-3) ... Configuration file `/etc/zsh/zshrc' ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation. ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version. What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: Y or I : install the package maintainer's version N or O : keep your currently-installed version D : show the differences between the versions Z : start a shell to examine the situation The default action is to keep your current version. *** zshrc (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? n Setting up zsh (5.0.2-3) ...
