Package: solaar
Version: 1.1.19-1
Severity: serious
Hi,
the way solaar handles /etc/default/solaar violates Debian policy 10.7.3
Configuration file handling must conform to the following behavior:
- local changes must be preserved during a package upgrade, and
-configuration files must be preserved when the package is removed, and only
deleted when the package is purged.
/etc/default/solaar is *always* overwritten by debconf. Its not removed
during purge. Its not marked as conffile and not shipped in the package.
Cheers,
Bernd
