Hi!
I just stubled over [1] and wonder how one can set "--force-confnew"
when attempting a softupdate on a specific package.
[1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=313397
For now I've created /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90mypackage:
DPkg
{
Options {"--force-confnew";}
}
So the question is: how do I set this option on a specific package
just for a softupdate. (I would like to have this file removed after
softupdate.)
Do I have to write a hook to remove this file afterwards?
As you only want this for a single package and only once, I'd suggest you create
a hook instsoft.FOO (for a proper class FOO) that does
- create 90mypackage with the above contents
- apt-get install theonepackage
- rm 90mypackage
Hmm. Ok. So by using apt-get in the hook-script I also have to
remove the package from the PACKAGE_CONFIG-entry? Right?
Thx.
