Ahh, you are indeed right -- the old conffile is still present and marked as obsolete by dpkg. (I guess I must have missed that amongst the new directory structure). So, yes... local admin changes are preserved; the admin is just left with a mess because of the wrong path to the .so. Feel free to assign whatever priority you would like to give this in the BTS, but it does look like it is in the "needs fixing for wheezy" (with minimal changes) category. As one of our release managers commented when we were discussing this bug earlier: [18:03] <adsb> arguably http://release.debian.org/wheezy/rc_policy.txt 5a says "package must not be on crack", but I think that's about as explicit as we get. "must not screw the admin over" shouldn't need to be codified On Wednesday 31 October 2012 17:00:49 Michal Čihař wrote: > Anyway the important bit is that path to load the module needs to be > adjusted as well on upgrade (if keeping old config file), what I did not > know how to do properly (old version had hardcoded path to xcache.so, > while new has omitted this). That does not appear to be correct with php5-xcache 2.0.0-2 currently in wheezy: $ grep zend_extension /etc/php5/mods-available/xcache.ini zend_extension = /usr/lib/php5/20100525+lfs/xcache.so ... so this problem is a problem that will keep on giving. /etc/php5/mods-available/xcache.ini is also a conffile again (whereas many of the other php module packages seem to have gone to ucf for the configuration file handling to help cope with these sorts of situations). cheers Stuart -- Stuart Prescott http://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint BE65 FD1E F4EA 08F3 23D4 3C6D 9FE8 B8CD 71C5 D1A8 GPG fingerprint 90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7
