My question here is, if the software looks for the config in /var/lib out of necessity, why does the package ship a symlink under /etc/ when that symlink a) will overwrite any attempts by the user to turn this into a real file (for whatever reason), and b) will complicate upgrades in the future when mediawiki's FHS bug is fixed so that the conffile *can* be moved to /etc? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
