Public bug reported:

Hi,

noticed this as a side-effect of testing fixes for bug #349655:

installing 
* linux-image-2.6.24-24-sparc64-smp_2.6.24-24.51_sparc.deb 
* linux-image-sparc64-smp_2.6.24.24.26_sparc.deb
* linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-24-sparc64-smp_2.6.24.16-24.57_sparc.deb 
* linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-24-sparc64-smp_2.6.24-24.38_sparc.deb
from hardy-proposed, then 
http://people.ubuntu.com/~smb/bug349655/linux-image-2.6.24-23-sparc64-smp_2.6.24-23.52b349655v1_sparc.deb

made silo.conf disappear (i.e. it was a symlink after that to non-
existing /boot/silo.conf, not too sure if it was a symlink before, but
at least it was present). Other silo files that should have resided in
/boot (*.b) were missing as well, just as if silo would have somehow
being uninstalled -- even though it was still marked as installed).

There were a few more side-conditions (e.g. I manually purged a few
older kernels, and space in boot was a little bit low), but I can say
for sure that after these actions silo.conf was still existing.

After installing the package from p.u.c, I rebooted, maybe that might
chime in as well (can't say if after the reboot, but before installing
the -proposed packages again silo.conf was still present).

Anyway reinstalling silo and taking silo.conf from a backup easily fixed
the problem for me.

Cheers,
    Stefan.
