I don't see a mv part. The file seems to be overwritten with basic settings, counting on mldonkey to fill in the rest. This seems to be a problem in the postinst, not upstream. I suggest to populate the file with cat only if it previously didn't exist, and otherwise leave everything untouched. > upstream first.

They are the persistent configuration store of the daemon. Whether configuration files or not, fact is that the upgrade overwrites configuration I made as the admin. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems "funny how just when you think life can't possibly get any worse it suddenly does." -- marvin
