So: Do you have any preference about the way you would
like to fix this?
One way is to go back to the old behaviour, but maybe it's
not necessary if you want to keep using the conffile
mechanism. Maybe this would also work:
In preinst, do something like this:
if upgrading-from-previous-version-whatever-is-coded
if [ ! -f /etc/logcheck/header.txt ]; then
touch /etc/logcheck.header.was.removed.txt
fi
fi
Then in postinst, do something like this:
if [ -f /etc/logcheck.header.was.removed.txt ]
rm -f /etc/logcheck/header.txt
rm -f /etc/logcheck.header.was.removed.txt
fi
Completely untested, just an idea.
Thanks.
