When we encountered that with the teTeX packages, the reason was always either that we moved or renamed files (like in: old version uses WMGLOBAL.cfg, new version uses WMGLOBAL, when WMGLOBAL.cfg is present, preinst renames the file) or that files where moved between binary packages. The only solution I know of for these cases is to use ucf. Sometimes it was not easy to reproduce, e.g. some only showed up if some woody package that we Replace/Conflict/Provide was installed previously. But when we could reproduce it, the reason became clear soon - we just had to look for the filename before the upgrade (is it there? from which package? changed?) and during upgrade. Maybe an md5sum call in preinst could help, but I never needed this. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
