--- Begin Message ---Package: acpid Version: 1.0.6-3 Severity: important Please don't delete conffiles in /etc that a user has modified. You broke my perfectly functioning system and forced me to read your postinst script[1] and pull powerbtn files out of acpid-cruft.tar.gz. This is especially egrerious since in #285779 Michael Biebl gave a perfectly clear description of a sane way to handle this upgrade case: | You should check in preinst, by comparing the md5sums of the | installed file and the one recorded in /var/lib/dpkg/info, if the file | has been modified. | If not, delete it, otherwise rename it to *.dpkg-bak. | (You can check the maintainer scripts of the upstart package [1] to see | how this can be done) Furtermore, dropping cruft in /var/backups is a misuse of the purpose of that directory. On the majority of systems, noone will notice the 100+k acpid-cruft.tar.gz file and it will just waste disk space indefinitely. /var/backups is intended to be used for *backups*, not for lame workarounds for crappy postinst scripts that break working systems. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages acpid depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip acpid recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- see shy jo [1] Since the NEWS.Debian file didn't mention that the powerbtn files were included in the cruft tarball.
