Approximately:
(new-version is the first version which uses /etc/fai/fai.conf)
preinst:
case "$1" in
upgrade)
version=$2
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt new-version && test
-f /etc/fai.conf; then
mkdir -p /etc/fai
mv /etc/fai.conf /etc/fai/fai.conf
fi
;;
esac
If there is other preinst code which could fail, add:
postrm:
case "$1" in
abort-upgrade)
version=$2
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt new-version && test
-f /etc/fai/fai.conf; then
mv /etc/fai/fai.conf /etc/fai.conf
fi
;;
esac
So that if things go wrong, the user is not left with a broken installation.
