[Bug 1569926] Re: Package seems to got modified without changing its version number
I have tested this by creating 2 versions of a package where the first creates the configuration file /etc/test/test1.conf (test1.deb) and the second creates the configuration file /etc/test/test2.conf (test2.deb). On installing test1.deb and then test2.deb only the file /etc/test/test2.conf exists so dpkg does clean up obsolete configuration files. But it seems this does not happen if a package gets reinstalled as sayed in comment #1. ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1569926 Title: Package seems to got modified without changing its version number To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1569926/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Taking care of obsolete conffiles is a responsibility of the package, not dpkg. ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1569926 Title: Package seems to got modified without changing its version number To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1569926/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1569926] Re: Package seems to got modified without changing its version number
I have figured out something new: On my laptop I have executed "apt-get install lxdm --reinstall" to update the lxdm package. But after executing "dpkg -S /etc/init/lxdm.conf" again I got again a match for lxdm on this path. On checking the package with "apt-get download lxdm" the file doesn't exist there. This means dpkg has not correctly updated the package by cleaning up this obsolete configuration file. Now I do even think that this issue is not about lxdm but maybe dpkg is just causing migration issues. ** Also affects: dpkg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1569926 Title: Package seems to got modified without changing its version number To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1569926/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
