Package: sn Version: 0.3.8-5 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 10.7.3
Sorry to be a pain, but you can't modify conffiles from the postinstall. See Debian Policy section 10.7, and 10.7.3 in particular. (Yes, that means in general, use of debconf conflicts with the use of conffiles.) At this point, the two easiest solutions: a) don't use debconf, leaving /e/n/sn/d-c a conffile b) investigate Manoj Srivasta's ucf package, which claims to help handle transitioning a conffile to a non-conffile, and in general provides dpkg conffile like handling for non-conffile configuration files. (Note the explicit distinction between the terms "conffile" and "configuration file".)
