Title:
obsolete config files of unity-greeter left after the oneiric 2
precise upgrade
Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in “unity-greeter” source package in Precise:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
Users that upgrade to 12.04 LTS will have a leftover config file
/etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf. This will be confusing, since the file is no
longer used by unity-greeter. In addition, it is sloppy, since such files are
supposed to be cleaned up by packaging.
Leaving such files also causes the automatic upgrade tests to fail.
See https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/precise-upgrade-oneiric-
desktop/263/ for example.
[Test Case]
In a 12.04 chroot with precise-proposed enabled, you could download the 11.10
version of unity-greeter, and do the following:
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-all unity-greeter_0.1.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
$ ls /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf
$ sudo apt-get install unity-greeter
$ ls /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf
The first check should show the conffile present. It should be
deleted by installing unity-greeter from -proposed.
[Regression Potential]
Can't think of any. The patch I'm using uses the dpkg-maintscript-helper
support, so all the usual corner cases (user modified conffile) are
automatically taken care of.
[Original Report]
