Hi,
So I've packaged the new version (3.5.1) and I've removed all the
obsolete files listed in this bug report, in the configure section of
postinst.
When I tested the new 3.5.1 package, dpkg -s told me that two more
conffiles were now obsolete: pref/font-mac.prf and edit/shop-own.txt. So
I edited postinst to remove these also, and rebuilt the 3.5.1 package -
but now piuparts fails the upgrade test (from 3.3.2-2.1):
5m5.2s DEBUG: Starting command: ['debsums', '--root', '/tmp/tmphx0OYv',
'-ac']
5m7.9s DUMP:
debsums: missing file /tmp/tmphx0OYv/etc/angband/pref/font-mac.prf
(from angband package)
5m7.9s DEBUG: Command failed (status=2), but ignoring error: ['debsums',
'--root', '/tmp/tmphx0OYv', '-ac']
5m7.9s ERROR: FAIL: debsums reports modifications inside the chroot:
debsums: missing file /etc/angband/pref/font-mac.prf (from angband
package)
I don't understand why the error is only occurring on this file and not
on any of the others listed in this bug report. (There is no longer any
reference to font-mac.prf anywhere in the source.) I think I am
misunderstanding something about how dpkg tags and deals with "conffiles".
(I realise this probably isn't the best place to ask this question, but
I don't know where to go for interactive help with packaging, as I
currently have no mentor.)
Any tips appreciated - 3.5.1 is otherwise ready for upload, but I'm keen
to ship it without any obsolete config files left after upgrading.
Thanks,
Chris
