Package: libhesiod0
Version: 3.0.2-18.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The postinst script for libhesiod0 will overwrite the existing
/etc/hesiod.conf whether or not it already exists, even on upgrades.
It should be changed to check that the argument it receives is configure
before overwriting hesiod.conf.
Also, the postinst script should use sed -i rather than sed followed by mv
-f, since that is slightly cleaner.
I've attached a patch to make these changes.
Thanks,
