Oh, interesting. Yes, I see that in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql-common.postinst
but while /var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql-common.conffiles
indeed does not list it any more,
/var/lib/dpkg/info/postgresql-common.list still lists it.
Checking the apt term.log archives, I have:
[…]
Preparing to unpack .../091-postgresql-common_215_all.deb ...
Leaving 'diversion of /usr/bin/pg_config to /usr/bin/pg_config.libpq-dev by
postgresql-common'
Unpacking postgresql-common (215) over (214) ...
[…]
Setting up postgresql-common (215) ...
Starting PostgreSQL 12 database server: main.
[…]
So I assume this has somehow run, but perhaps silently?
I’ve got no idea, I never used dpkg-maintscripthelper yet.
The call to dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile is even
in preinst of the 215 version, so it ought to have caught
that file… does dpkg-maintscript-helper log anywhere?
My best guess is that something modified that file before
the upgrade to 215, relative to… whatever dpkg-maintscript-helper
considered as “unmodified”. While this is my work laptop, not
the desktop (which I crossgraded way too much…) it’s been running
sid for many years now.
