Package: netbase Version: 5.0 Severity: normal netbase 5.0 drops /etc/init.d/networking; thank you for that. However, dpkg does not automatically remove conffiles (even unmodified conffiles) when upgrading to a version of the package that does not include the conffile. Thus, upgrading from previous versions of netbase to netbase 5.0 leaves /etc/init.d/networking around.
Normally, I'd suggest using dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile, but I don't know if that'll work correctly when the user has already upgraded ifupdown. I don't think a standard procedure exists for moving conffiles between packages; sysvinit and the newly split-out bootlogd have the same problem with bootlogd's init scripts. (Also, I don't quite see how it works to upgrade ifupdown without upgrading netbase, since ifupdown and older netbase both ship /etc/init.d/networking and no conflicts or replaces exists between those versions.) - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages netbase depends on: ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian3 Versions of packages netbase recommends: pn ifupdown <none> netbase suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
