Package: rancid
Version: 3.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,

RANCID 3.0 (incorporated in current experimental's 3.1) introduces the
following backward incompatible change

| router.db,rancid.types.*: change field separator to ';' (semi-colon) to
| allow for IPv6 addresses in router.db and avoid conflict with :s in
| device commands and perl module names

If you don't know that and do not change router.db after the upgrade 
it will 

- output weird error messages about hosts being added and removed
- remove all configuration already collected (not fatal since it is in 
  VCS, but still)
- fail to collect without any usable error message

Please either switch router.db in postinst or at least add NEWS.Debian
for that change.

Best Regards,
Bernhard
