Because sometimes if you don't, things break badly. Upgrading to a new release, I kept my exim4 configuration file. The new exim4 choked so badly on it that it wouldn't fully install, and neither the apt tools nor even dpkg could fully remove it to try again. It's the only time I've ever had to manually delete files to get things working again. Recently, a new sudo would not operate with the old configuration file, though that was a lot less traumatic to fix. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
