[Bug 1181856] Re: Conffile prompt for /etc/init.d/networking on update to 0.7.5ubuntu3
Yep, here's the executive summary which seems to go right back to when I installed the system: laney@iota zgrep ifupdown dpkg.log* | sort -t : -k 2 | sed -n '1p; /upgrade/p' dpkg.log.7.gz:2012-08-23 16:51:00 install ifupdown none 0.7~beta2ubuntu8 dpkg.log.7.gz:2012-10-18 11:41:42 upgrade ifupdown:amd64 0.7~beta2ubuntu8 0.7.2ubuntu2 dpkg.log.4.gz:2013-01-10 16:09:11 upgrade ifupdown:amd64 0.7.2ubuntu2 0.7.5ubuntu2 dpkg.log:2013-05-19 21:33:55 upgrade ifupdown:amd64 0.7.5ubuntu2 0.7.5ubuntu3 full grep attached too.

[Bug 1181856] Re: Conffile prompt for /etc/init.d/networking on update to 0.7.5ubuntu3
Got it, thanks. So this is reproducible on a system that's continuously upgraded from precise-quantal-raring-saucy. The reason is that, in the precise-quantal upgrade, /etc/init.d/networking is taken over as a conffile from netbase, and due to an ordering difference on upgrade vs. new install, this gets stored to the conffile database with the md5sum of /lib/init/upstart-job. Thus, when removing the conffile from the system in the ifupdown preinst, dpkg views this as a local diff to the previous conffile version and prompts about the local change. When the first install is from quantal or later, dpkg does *not* store the md5sum for /etc/init.d/networking - /lib/init/upstart-job. Instead it stores the file state as 'newconffile'. So to reproduce this in a clean raring environment, it's sufficient to run the following command: sudo sed -i -e'/etc.init.d.networking/ s/newconffile/ce96a6f22cc836088eef6673d853a765/' /var/lib/dpkg/status (this is the md5sum of the precise version of /lib/init/upstart-job.) So this is reproducible, now to figure out how to get around dpkg here. ** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181856 Title: Conffile prompt for /etc/init.d/networking on update to 0.7.5ubuntu3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1181856/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug was fixed in the package ifupdown - 0.7.5ubuntu4 --- ifupdown (0.7.5ubuntu4) saucy; urgency=low * Due to the checkered history of /etc/init.d/networking, only remove the upstart-job symlink in the preinst if the dpkg status is 'newconffile', to avoid bogus conffile prompts on upgrade, and manually manipulate the new conffile into place in the postinst.

Hi Laney, Can you please show the full upgrade history of this package on your system (from /var/log/apt/term.log or /var/log/dpkg.log)? I didn't see this problem here; I suppose the package took a different upgrade path on your system historically, resulting in a different state of the conffile. ** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181856 Title: Conffile prompt for /etc/init.d/networking on update to 0.7.5ubuntu3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1181856/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
