Hi. Which files in /etc are exactly not marked as conffiles? The package uses debhelper so this is very unlikely to happen. I run lintian on shellinabox.deb and I get this: E: shellinabox: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile [etc/shellinabox/options-available/00+Black on White.css] E: shellinabox: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile [etc/shellinabox/options-available/00_White On Black.css] E: shellinabox: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile [etc/shellinabox/options-available/01+Color Terminal.css] E: shellinabox: missing-conffile Black.css [conffiles:4] E: shellinabox: missing-conffile Terminal.css [conffiles:5] E: shellinabox: missing-conffile White.css [conffiles:3] E: shellinabox: missing-systemd-service-for-init.d-script shellinabox [etc/init.d/shellinabox] E: shellinabox: non-etc-file-marked-as-conffile Black.css [conffiles:4] E: shellinabox: non-etc-file-marked-as-conffile Terminal.css [conffiles:5] E: shellinabox: non-etc-file-marked-as-conffile White.css [conffiles:3] E: shellinabox: relative-conffile Black.css [conffiles:4] E: shellinabox: relative-conffile Terminal.css [conffiles:5] E: shellinabox: relative-conffile White.css [conffiles:3] E: shellinabox: unknown-conffile-instruction /etc/shellinabox/options-available/00+Black [conffiles:3] E: shellinabox: unknown-conffile-instruction /etc/shellinabox/options-available/00_White [conffiles:4] E: shellinabox: unknown-conffile-instruction /etc/shellinabox/options-available/01+Color [conffiles:5] It seems to me that lintian is confused by spaces in the filenames, which would indicate a bug in lintian, not in shellinabox. Thanks.
