Package: wireless-tools
Version: 30~pre9-3
Severity: normal
As the script below shows, I was prompted by dpkg for if I wished
to replace /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools and
/etc/network/if-post-down.d/wireless-tools with a new version.
However... the "old" files had never been edited, and were
(according to the diff) completely empty. It looks like they
might have been touched in the maintainer script at some point?
Whatever the cause of the empty files being present, a dpkg
conffile prompt should not be seen unless the admin actually
modified the file, which was not the case here.
Regards,
Roger
