Package: anon-proxy Version: 00.02.39-3 Severity: serious If I manually modify the port number in etc/init.d/anon-proxy, and then run dpkg-reconfigure anon-proxy, then it doesn't pick up my changes.
debconf is not a registry, you must really load the values from the configfile before you even ask. Also, you must not change /etc/init.d/anon-proxy with a script, and therefore from debconf anyway. Packages must not modify their own or other packages conffiles programmatically. (The only correct way to modify a conffile is the user running an editor specifically; if anything more automated is required or useful, configuration files must _NOT_ be handled as conffiles) [from http://release.debian.org/sarge_rc_policy.txt] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
