Package: ncurses-base
Version: 5.4-8
Severity: serious
Hello Dan,
ncurses-base mark the following files as conffiles:
/etc/terminfo/E/Eterm
/etc/terminfo/a/ansi
/etc/terminfo/c/cons25
/etc/terminfo/c/cygwin
/etc/terminfo/d/dumb
/etc/terminfo/h/hurd
/etc/terminfo/l/linux
/etc/terminfo/m/mach
/etc/terminfo/m/mach-bold
/etc/terminfo/m/mach-color
/etc/terminfo/p/pcansi
/etc/terminfo/r/rxvt
/etc/terminfo/r/rxvt-basic
/etc/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode
/etc/terminfo/s/screen
/etc/terminfo/s/screen-bce
/etc/terminfo/s/screen-s
/etc/terminfo/s/screen-w
/etc/terminfo/s/sun
/etc/terminfo/v/vt100
/etc/terminfo/v/vt102
/etc/terminfo/v/vt220
/etc/terminfo/v/vt52
/etc/terminfo/w/wsvt25
/etc/terminfo/w/wsvt25m
/etc/terminfo/x/xterm
/etc/terminfo/x/xterm-debian
/etc/terminfo/x/xterm-r5
/etc/terminfo/x/xterm-r6
/etc/terminfo/x/xterm-xfree86
/etc/terminfo/x/xterm-mono
/etc/terminfo/x/xterm-vt220
/etc/terminfo/x/xterm-color
However theses files are binaries files, not text files. They probably
do not beong in /etc in the first place but at least they should not be
marked as conffiles, since dpkg do not handle non-text conffiles in a
useful way:
Setting up ncurses-base (5.4-8) ...
Configuration file `/etc/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode'
==> File on system created by you or by a script.
==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** rxvt-unicode (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? D
Binary files /etc/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode and
/etc/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode.dpkg-new differ
