Yah, this is new command from 2010. We only deal these issues every 2 or more years. Well more abstruct solution is good as long as we know what it does behind us. So time to learn new trick for a old dog (=me). As I read a bit complicated script /usr/bin/dpkg-maintscript-helper, this seems to require us to use when the conffile change was introduced. If I use this now, then the stable users who upgrade are handled fine but the testing/unstable users will not be handled fine. Instead, good old standard trick of using md5sum check with a set of fixed values seems to save more cases. Basically, I missed the right moment. I will use it for my future work but I need to think what is the best... I now read: http://www.dpkg.org/dpkg/ConffileHandling http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling Certainly, many thoughts has been merged from old trick I know. Let me think about this for 10 days during our spring long weekend. Regards, Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
