Is that a hypothesis or have you verified it? Between which versions? My understanding is that that's correct, but only for uninstall/install of releases from testing->sid (and sid->latest). It's not the case for lenny->squeeze because lisp-config.lisp is not a conffile in lenny, and thus will be removed even with a plain (non-purge) pkg removal. > I think we also need remove lisp-config.lisp when executing > 'new-preinst install old-version' (according to debian-policy). Is it > right? The conflict might only occur when the stale lisp-config.lisp is a conffile, and by definition we're not allowed to wipe conffiles. I believe that there's user prompting only upon a conflict between local changes and the new conffile (ie. no prompting when an unmodified old conffile is replaced by an updated conffile) > > I've tested the patch.
