Hi, (Yes, I've been waiting for that bug ;-)
NEWS.Debian is there for a reason ... so the change was not "without warning". Unfortunately, NEWS.Debian being displayed is not mandatory. I guess a debconf warning based on grep might work, although I think debconf is not the ideal way to handle this. The best would probably be to handle ucf in a way to not replace an unmodified configuration file but instead mark it as being modified and register the new one as the unmodified variant. I'm not exactly sure how this is to be implemented, though (bad maintainer, sorry) I'd be happy if some other people could comment on this. cheers -- vbi On Tuesday 18 November 2008 15.49:29 Bill Gribble wrote: > Package: postgrey > Version: 1.32-2 > Severity: important > > > The default port in use by postgrey has changed from 60000 to 10023. > > If /etc/default/postgrey was not changed locally, it will be overwritten > by a new version without warning.
