Package: squid
Version: 3.5.10-1
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed the piuparts
upgrade test because dpkg detected a conffile as being modified and then
prompted the user for an action. As there is no user input, this fails.
But this is not the real problem, the real problem is that this prompt
shows up in the first place, as there was nobody modifying this conffile
at all, the package has just been installed and upgraded...
This is a violation of policy 10.7.3, see
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.7.3,
which says "[These scripts handling conffiles] must not ask unnecessary
questions (particularly during upgrades), and must otherwise be good
citizens."
https://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling should help with figuring
out how to do this properly.
In https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/08/msg00675.html and
followups it has been agreed that these bugs are to be filed with
severity serious.

This was observed on the upgrade path wheezy -> jessie -> stretch.
There was no squid package in jessie, so this is effectively
an upgrade from 2.7 to 3.5.
Which also means there is no automatic upgrade path from squid 2.7 in wheezy
to squid3 in jessie!
cheers,
Andreas

This is a new bug, it has never happened before - therefore no
regression. I have opened bug 858556 for tracking the new issue.
It is not involving dpkg prompting the user about config files,
therefore not the same bug. Re-closing.
