I would say that's not exact. dpkg does not detect a conffile as being modified, dpkg detects the file as being different from the *default*, which is probably correct. In squeeze, /etc/profile was created by postinst from a default file in /usr/share/base-files. In base-files 6.5, the default changed. Finally, in base-files 6.8, the file is now a conffile. How is this supposed to be handled? The URLs you give explain how to remove a conffile or how to rename it, but not how to make a conffile when it was not a conffile. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
