Subject: twiki: Upgrade script overwrites user-modified files Package: twiki Version: 20040902-3 Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line *** After upgrading from 20040902-1 to 20040902-3 I found that my customized versions of certain files had been overwritten, without warning, and with no backup copies made. These are the files I modified which were subsequently overwritten: /var/lib/twiki/bin/mailnotify /var/lib/twiki/templates/twiki.dragon.tmpl /var/lib/twiki/templates/dragonmenu.dragon.tmpl The templates seem likely to be customized by users, so overwiting changes without warning seems possibly dangerous. The config file (/etc/twiki/TWiki.cfg) was not overwritten. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.2.20 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages twiki depends on: ii apache-common 1.3.33-3 support files for all Apache webse ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libalgorithm-diff-perl 1.19.01-1 a perl library for finding Longest ii libdigest-sha1-perl 2.10-1 NIST SHA-1 message digest algorith ii libnet-perl 1:1.19-1 Implementation of Internet protoco ii libtext-diff-perl 0.35-2 Perform diffs on files and record ii perl [libmime-base64-perl] 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules [libnet-perl] 5.8.4-8 Core Perl modules ii rcs 5.7-14 The GNU Revision Control System -- debconf information: * twiki/apacheUserCreationNote: * twiki/samplefiles: true * twiki/wikiwebmaster: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * twiki/defaultUrlHost: http://rirg.dnsalias.net
