No, it's a general problem: dpkg won't notice that a conffile has been moved from one package to the other, no matter whether it declares "Replaces" or whatever. There's simply no solution within dpkg at the moment. The only way I know of to get rid of the bogus questions is to put the files under ucf control. In the long run, it would be nice if dpkg got ucf's nice features. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ.
