I have done a final test doing a move /etc/squid/squid.conf to /etc/squid/squid.conf.pre_3.4_upgrade at preinst and then at postinst I moved /etc/squid/squid.conf (the newly installed conf) to /etc/squid/squid.conf.dpkg-dist and also a sed of /etc/squid/squid.conf.pre_3.4_upgrade > /etc/squid/squid.conf The result on /ets/squid was: -rw------- 1 root root 169404 Out 28 19:34 squid.conf.pre_3.4_upgrade -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1817 Out 28 19:53 errorpage.css -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 285765 Out 28 21:34 squid.conf.dpkg-dist -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 169440 Out 28 21:34 squid.conf The output messages were the same ones as yesterday, with squid running at the end using the config file generated from the old squid.conf file.
