Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.18
Severity: normal
While packaging simba i had the following situation:
/etc/simba/simba.cfg was in the package as a confile.
The postinst was creating via dbconfig-common a new file called
/etc/simba/simba-db.cfg. At every upgrade we got the following prompt:
Configuration file `/etc/simba/simba-db.cfg'
==> File on system created by you or by a script.
==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
S : show the side-by-side differences between the versions
Z : start a new shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** simba-db.cfg (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?
[...]
That file does not exist neither in the package or on the filesystem. If
i hit D:
--- /dev/null 2006-04-10 13:15:48.167259456 +0300
+++ /tmp/dbconfig-generate-include.lo0pUi 2006-04-11

If i changed the filename from simba-db.cfg to simbadb.cfg (without '-')
everything worked out ok.
Thanks,
