Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.24 Severity: important -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
the postinst script in sarge's dpkg copies over a dpkg.cfg into /etc/dpkg.cfg during installation, and as a result it's not marked as a conffile. during upgrades to etch, this presents a problem because it's marked as a conffile in the later versions of dpkg, and thus the user is unconditionally prompted for conffile changes due to the version in etch being slightly modified. sean - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-amd64 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii coreutils 5.97-5.1 The GNU core utilities ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries dpkg recommends no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFPpJjynjLPm522B0RApC7AJ4l5txrPECv1BEp3sTEg3jLZB7W3QCfYydW ts++LLtInlC13HXePLvQhHY= =lRs/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
