Yah, this is new command from 2010. We only deal these issues every 2 or more years. Well more abstruct solution is good as long as we know what it does behind us. So time to learn new trick for a old dog (=me). As I read a bit complicated script /usr/bin/dpkg-maintscript-helper, this seems to require us to use when the conffile change was introduced. If I use this now, then the stable users who upgrade are handled fine but the testing/unstable users will not be handled fine. Instead, good old standard trick of using md5sum check with a set of fixed values seems to save more cases. Basically, I missed the right moment. I will use it for my future work but I need to think what is the best... You can use dpkg-maintscript-helper and still cover all the users of the latest testing/unstable packages as well. When you release version X.Y-Z of the package, use dpkg-maintscript-helper with rm_conffile and tell it to clean up conffiles from any version X.Y-Z~ or older. I now read: http://www.dpkg.org/dpkg/ConffileHandling http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling Certainly, many thoughts has been merged from old trick I know. Let me think about this for 10 days during our spring long weekend. No problem; not a rush. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Please see the manpage of dpkg-maintscript-helper for details. Very true. Maybe this was working for -3.1 not to get bug report :-) Whoever had this package liked Chinese priority. Others who just installed on top of non-chinese system, liked this as well. Anyway, postinst with md5sum check seems to be the solution.
