Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apt-utils
If a file in /etc/modprobe.d has been modified by the user, he/she will be asked if it should be replaced and, depending on the answer, content will be saved in a dpkg-old file in the same directory. This doesn't make sense there since both the new file and the saved content will get used; renaming to <filename>.dpkg-old doesn't deactivate anything since all files there are considered valid. Happened to me with alsa-base; will probably apply to other packages too, so I'm filing a general bug against apt-utils for now (not sure, however). ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Saving dkpg-old files in /etc/modprobe.d doesn't make sense https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125213 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
