Based on the package contents and maintainer script, it is apparent that you: - edited /etc/dokuwiki/users.auth.php and /etc/dokuwiki/acl.auth.php as real files, even though they are shipped in the package as symlinks pointing to /var/lib - edited /var/lib/dokuwiki/data/.htaccess, which is shipped as a file in the package User changes to files are only guaranteed when those files are config files. The symlinks in /etc/dokuwiki for users.auth.php and acl.auth.php are not config files; the files they point to under /var/lib/dokuwiki/acl are. While it's not exactly intuitive for this to be the case, any data loss here is at least partly user error. The file /var/lib/dokuwiki/data/.htaccess is also not a config file. This is also somewhat non-intuitive, but there are many packages in the archive that ship files under /var, and you'll find the same problem with any of them if you edit those files. So downgrading this bug. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
