This is happening because the package is shipping the symlink as a conffile. Generally speaking, this isn't a great idea, and dpkg's handling of symlink-as-conffile cases is shockingly non-obvious.
Like most packages with symlink trees in /etc, what this should be doing is not shipping the symlink as a file, but rather creating it in the postinst on new installs (and only new installs), so a sysadming choosing to remove the symlink won't have to worry about it coming back spontaneously. -- default network autostart symlink recreated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/372001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
