Since Debian does not support downgrading packages, that makes this wishlist[1]. I'd still be interested in hints towards fixing the underlying problem, of course. Thanks for a quick response, Jonathan [1] and the higher-level package manager's resolver must have screwed up a little, too, though that's not so relevant. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

So I don't really know where to go from there. P.S. Is there some reason you didn't use reportbug to file your bug? None except a lack of facility at using it. Is there some particular information you were looking for? You seem like a clever guy, I'm sure you can figure it out ;). Seriously, I sometimes find interesting information in that generated by reportbug, without knowing before hand that I needed it. If nothing else, it helps convince me the reporter really is running Debian. All the best, David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#623670: highlight-common: prompts during upgrade about filetypes.conf
Package: highlight-common Version: 2.16-1 Justification: policy §10.7.3 Hi, From today's upgrade: | Unpacking highlight-common (from .../highlight-common_2.16-1_all.deb) ... | Setting up highlight-common (2.16-1) ... | | Configuration file `/etc/highlight/filetypes.conf' | == Deleted (by you or by a script) since installation. | == Package distributor has shipped an updated version. |What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: | Y or I : install the package maintainer's version | N or O : keep your currently-installed version | D : show the differences between the versions | Z : start a shell to examine the situation | The default action is to keep your current version. | *** filetypes.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? Indeed: | $ ls -l /etc/highlight | total 4 | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1758 Apr 2 2010 filetypes.conf.dpkg-new | $ I do not recall touching that file myself, so it looks like a bug (as policy §10.7.3 explains, conffiles are not supposed to be modified or removed by scripts). Any ideas for tracking this down? Thanks for highlight. :) I've been hoping to use it for syntax-highlighting in my local gitweb instance some day soon.
