just to make notation clear /etc/sudoers is a *configuration file*, i.e. rules of preserving user changes apply
since wheezy it is also a *conffile* i.e. shipped with the package at /etc/sudoers and managed by dpkg, not to be touched by maintainer scripts before it was managed by maintainer scripts the tricky part is to get a smooth upgrade patch from the pre-conffile stage to a conffile * with preserving user chnages * without asking useles questions (do not even think about downgrades, they are just unsuported) I think the real bug is still that pre-conffile handling is applied to a conffile by listing the wheezy md5sum if dpkg installs a conffile for the first time there are three possibilities: * the file does not exist - trivial: install and record it * the file exists and is the same as being installed - record it * the file exists but is different: ask Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
