hi, summarizing a bit: /etc/init.d/timidity is no longer provided by timidity but timidity-daemon. So the postinst script of timidity leaves the config file for timidity-daemon, which causes a problem with insserv, when timidity has only removed before but not upgraded or purged. * if the config file has not been touched be the user, just drop it when timidiy is removed * otherwise timidit's postinst script could ask the user if the config file should stay there, or not * also insserv could ask the user, if a conflicting config file may be deleted how to archieve this?
