If debian-webapps ever clarifies that mucking with conffiles from other packages is a good thing (and, furthermore, mucking with apache2's conffile to make YOUR package work better, while completely breaking a bunch of others!), then there's something seriously wrong, since it's both a really bad idea, and completely violates policy. The correct fix (fixing apache2 to not include .dpkg-* files) will be uploaded tomorrow morning. You, however, now have a mess of your own creation to fix, since you've broken several people's configs (yes, there are a bunch of packages that drop files in apache2/conf.d without a .conf extension, and they are NOT buggy for doing so, despite the fact that you decided they all should be). Have fun. ... Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
