I found out that one can add the lines force-confdef force-confold to /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg to set these options globally. So I've build a promise that's adds these lines right at the beginning of the cf-agent run, and all is well: <snip http://paste.debian.net/53541/> bundle agent dpkgConfig { vars: any:: "dpkg_cfg" string => "/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg"; files: any:: "$(dpkg_cfg)" edit_line => AppendIfNoSuchLine("force-confold"), comment => "Upon package installation, do not overwrite existing config files with new ones"; } bundle edit_line AppendIfNoSuchLine(Line) { insert_lines: "$(Line)" location => "Append"; } body location Append { before_after => "after"; } </snip> Cheers, Robert _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
