This is good to know, fuzzy. Thanks for the post.
I also want people (myself included) to realize/remember that when certain
packages are upgraded (to be specific, control-panel-toaster,
spamassassin-toaster, and clamav-toaster older than version 0.90.1-1.3.11)
the existing package is removed first, due to a problem with simply doing an
upgrade. This can wipe out some customization that may have been done. It
will definitely reset the password to control-panel-toaster (/admin-toaster
web page).
I don't remember if I included this bit in the wiki page on upgrading or
not. If not, would someone be so kind as to add it?
I've tried to limit the impact of doing package removals, but have been
unable to nail down which versions of control-panel-toaster and
spamassassin-toaster are problematic. If anyone knows, please fill me in and
I'll change qtp-newmodel accordingly.
