Indeed, it is. It was well "hidden" in dh_installdeb autodetection of files shipped in /etc that get automatically handled as conffiles. > here is my template for bug reports about packages that do not properly remove >conffiles, it may help. You may also want to test the package upgrade >with piuparts. Gave piuparts a quick try with no success. Either I give it the deb as argument and it complains that it cannot resolve dependencies, or using -a that you cannot provide package files as it uses apt-get to install arguments. Is there no simple way to do an install_from_deb-purge or install-upgrade_from_deb-purge ? >Please use the dpkg-maintscript-helper support provided by >dh_installdeb >to remove these obsolete conffiles on upgrade. > >https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-config-files >http://manpages.debian.org/man/1/dh_installdeb Committed in SVN using maintcript conf file for dh_installdeb. Thanks for the useful links ! I knew the policy part but hadn't realized all the dh wiring going on. >This bug report brought to you by adequate: > >http://bonedaddy.net/pabs3/log/2013/02/23/inadequate-software/ Would benefit from an updated link to tracker.d.o from the old PTS ;-) Also, https://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian#Check_points_for_any_package should be updated now that the requirement for Debian menu files has been retired in favor of desktop file. Should I make the change ? > >$ pkg=desktop-base ; adequate $pkg ; dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' >$pkg | grep obsolete SVN head is now "adequate". :-) Cheers, --Aurélien
