You're probably seeing dpkg's config file handling: /etc/xdg/compiz /compiz-manager, being under /etc/, is a config file and policy is that any changes the user has made to a config file should be preserved on package upgrades. Since you've deleted that file, dpkg assumes you've done that deliberately and won't overwrite your config change.
You can get around this by either purging the compiz-core package (which will reset dpkg's conf file handling), or extract the file from the deb and put it in the right place yourself. -- compiz does not start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
