The problem comes when a file's existence or non-existence affects how a
package behaves (such as /etc/defense-
package/autorun/launch_nuclear_missiles). If the user removes such a
file to control package behavior, and then an update re-adds the files,
it would change the package behavior in a way
Why wouldn't reinstalling a package restore a .conf file, when the file
is clearly in the .deb package, or when done via Synaptic?
I hadn't touched or deleted /etc/ipsec.conf. I only discovered the
problem after strongswan updates were performed, and I noticed errors in

Could you check /var/log/apt/history.log to backtrack the packages you
installed and upgrade to see if there is a clear way to reproduce this
problem?
