thank you for this detailed information. Bareos only substitutes template variables on initial installation (or the database backend if somebody reconfigures dbconfig-common). I'll change the behavior, so that the template configuration files get installed to /usr/share/bareos... and copied to /etc/bareos/ during postinst, if the config file do not already exist. This will take a while, because the current behavior must continue to work for other plattforms (eg. RPM based).

You might want to try that as a base, I'll push it to git soon and let you know. Greets Evgeni -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

From my point of view, this fixes the problem. Thanks for the review! I have added a few postrm scripts to remove the configs when the package is purged: https://github.com/credativ/bareos/commit/2a76988eced8a56972801787f3dd77ee6410c7b2 I would upload in my lunch-break if you do not object ;) Greets Evgeni -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: bareos Version: 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-2 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package modifies conffiles. This is forbidden by the policy, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-config-files 10.7.3: [...] The easy way to achieve this behavior is to make the configuration file a conffile. [...] This implies that the default version will be part of the package distribution, and must not be modified by the maintainer scripts during installation (or at any other time). Note that once a package ships a modified version of that conffile, dpkg will prompt the user for an action how to handle the upgrade of this modified conffile (that was not modified by the user). Further in 10.7.3: [...] must not ask unnecessary questions (particularly during upgrades) [...] If a configuration file is customized by a maintainer script after having asked some debconf questions, it may not be marked as a conffile. Instead a template could be installed in /usr/share and used by the postinst script to fill in the custom values and create (or update) the configuration file (preserving any user modifications!). This file must be removed during postrm purge. ucf(1) may help with these tasks. See also http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling In https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/09/msg00412.html and followups it has been agreed that these bugs are to be filed with severity serious. debsums reports modification of the following files, from the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.conf and from other tests /etc/bareos/bareos-sd.conf /etc/bareos/bconsole.conf /etc/bareos/bareos-fd.conf /etc/bareos/bat.conf /etc/bareos/tray-monitor.conf cheers, Andreas bareos-director_14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-2.log.gz Description: application/gzip
