Bug#345113: mysql-server-4.1: conffile prompts during upgrade

2006-01-22 Thread Olaf van der Spek 

 You only get prompts when you have modified the config files.
 If you never touched e.g. /etc/init.d/mysql then there would have 
been  no

 warning and as you did it was perfectly intended to ask you if you
 want
 to preserve those changes or update to my version.

I think that's not true. The only-if-modified appears to only apply to 
files from the same package.

When packages (or package names) change I frequently get those questions.

Yea, and it is at least an important bug.  Please don't hesitate to
file such bugs.  See also Bill Allombert's message Some bits of
experience gained from handling upgrade-reports.  It is probably a
release blocker, though nothing in policy specifically says so.

 You only get prompts when you have modified the config files.
This is false.  I also observe the same problem with mozilla-firefox
= firefox, openoffice.org = openoffice.org2-common, and ssh =
openssh-{client,server}.  The general problem is that dpkg sees a
conffile, but doesn't take into account that the conffile used to be
owned by a different package.

 If you never touched e.g. /etc/init.d/mysql then there would have been no
 warning and as you did it was perfectly intended to ask you if you want
 to preserve those changes or update to my version.
Please look at a diff of the config files included in the original
report, in particular the mysql-server log rotate conffiles.  The only
changes present are in '#' comments.  I don't know the first thing
about sql adminisistration, so I know that I didn't change that file.
Even if I did, the change would not have been about comments, and
would not have been the changes that are present.

You will get the 4 conffile prompts as documented:

 dpkg -P mysql(tab-tab-put-everything-here)
 rm -fr /etc/mysql/ and/other/relevent/stuff
 apt-get install mysql-server=4.0.24-10sarge1
 apt-get install mysql-server-4.1

Bug#345113: mysql-server-4.1: conffile prompts during upgrade

2005-12-28 Thread Justin Pryzby 
Package: mysql-server-4.1
Severity: important

Upgrading from 4.0.24-10sarge1 to 5.0.16-1 I got a large number of
unnecessary conffile prompts.  I'm including a tarball of the files
that caused prompting.  Actually I'm not sure about the package names
or versions, so I'm also including my dpkg.log fragments.

This might be useful: http://www.dpkg.org/ConffileHandling

firefox and openssh also have this problem.
