Is there a chance to get this fixed in stable? The changes are minimal: mv debian/postrm debian/highlight-common.postrm sed -i s/purge\|remove/purge/ debian/highlight-common.postrm > I'm still investigating how to fix this, For wheezy: If I understand http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-unpackphase correctly, your only chance to "restore" the lost file would be <new-preinst> install <old-version> and you would have to ship a copy of that config file in the highlight-common.preinst script. Thereafter dpkg should not complain about the conffile any more. Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
