Not for me: $ sudo apt-get install redis-server [..] Setting up redis-server (2:3.2.3-1) ... [..] $ echo '# local change' | sudo tee -a /etc/redis/redis.conf # local change $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall redis-server [..] Setting up redis-server (2:3.2.3-1) ... [..] $ sudo grep "local change" /etc/redis/redis.conf # local change There is nothing special about the handling of /etc/redis/redis.conf in Debian - all the usual dpkg conffile conflict handling is in operation - ie. it will not overwrite local changes.. > I would expect a default include at the end of redis.conf embedding (Whilst I like the idea of a redis.conf.d from an aesthetic point of view, IMHO this is orthogonal to this issue and should be discussed elsewhere.)

Bug#833523: redis-server: configuring /etc/redis/redis.conf can break automated updates
Package: redis-server Version: 2:3.2.3-1~dotdeb+8.1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** I need more than the default 16 databases within redis. So currently the only place to configure this is the default redis.conf. After any update the conf file gets overwritten with the distribution one and redis fails to start, because it recognizes the 32 databases of cached data. I would expect a default include at the end of redis.conf embedding either a local.conf or all files within a subfolder conf.d which I can add and edit without changing the distributions default file. That should be easy to add without breaking more than now. *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages redis-server depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii libc62.19-18+deb8u4 ii redis-tools 2:3.2.3-1~dotdeb+8.1 redis-server recommends no packages. redis-server suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/redis-server changed [not included] /etc/redis/redis.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information
