In order to do this, dpkg should squirrel away (possibly in a compressed archive or the like) a copy of the original conffile on package installation. At the moment, it only keeps an MD5 checksum of each conffile. I would find this very useful, personally, just for finding out just what changes I've made to my system's conffiles. -- Charles Briscoe-Smith White pages entry, with PGP key: <URL:http://alethea.ukc.ac.uk/wp?95cpb4> PGP public keyprint: 74 68 AB 2E 1C 60 22 94 B8 21 2D 01 DE 66 13 E2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
