I don't agree. The user "owns" /etc and the system is designed to preserve all modifications to it. Trying to automatically guess the user's intent sounds like a recipe for confusion. The provided mechanism to recreate the files is to purge and install the packages again. In any case, it's not up to the package maintainer to change the behaviour of the package manager or disregard Debian and/or Ubuntu policy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579708 Title: mysql maintainer scripts fail if files in /etc/mysql have been deleted locally To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.5/+bug/1579708/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
