Package: tftpd-hpa Version: 5.0-2 Severity: serious Hi,
The tftpd-hpa package blows away any change a user made to /etc/default/tfpd-hpa. This is not allowed by policy, and a warning message that tells you not to edit the file directly does not solve this. You have several options: - Allow the user to set a variable in the config file that, if set, will prevent the package to blow it away; - Read the config file in your tftpd-hpa.config script, and use it (with db_set) to seed the defaults of your debconf configuration. If you take this option, you should take care not to remove any additional customization the user might have made (for instance by using sed to edit the file); - Combine the above two (which is the preferable option) For an example of the last option, see the nbd-client package. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=nl_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nl_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tftpd-hpa depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.27 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.9-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.q-18 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra tftpd-hpa recommends no packages.
