It won't be replaced. Ah! Ok, so it seems I missread your mail. Yes, this was already filed as bug #102609, for which Henning Makholm had provided a really simple patch, that I've now merged (after little shoehorning into the current code). It adds a new --force-confask, which can optionally be combined with either --force-confnew and --force-confmiss: <http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commitdiff;h=bd0ae9a4> And the new functional test for it: <http://git.debian.org/?p=dpkg/pkg-tests.git;a=commitdiff;h=e980657b> regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
