Package: base-files Version: 6.11 Severity: normal Hi,
sendfile was a package directly modifying several files in /etc, e.g. /etc/profile. This has been fixed in 2.1b.20080616-5.2 which is in wheezy (and it includes code to undo these modifications if present). But upgrades from squeeze will suffer not getting their /etc/profile updated (because base-files is configured before sendfile). This will be "fixed" once base-files gets updated again later on (e.g. for a point release) ... because if finds an old file with a known md5sum. The line added by squeeze's version of sendfile is "test -x /usr/bin/check-sendfile && /usr/bin/check-sendfile || /bin/true" (without the quotes and the md5sum changes after sendfile installation in squeeze from b94c2e3df2a779ac12080942df4d86ea to 89126d8bba3325594e1539bcc97847f3 I don't know it it would be appropriate (and would work well) to add a Breaks: sendfile (<< 2.1b.20080616-5.2~) to base-files.
