Ah, sure. Admin installs adduser. adduser defaults to /home. Admin now installs your package. adduser now defaults to /srv/home. Admin changes adduser's default to /u but keeps all other changes your configuration package makes, as they only disagrees with this one. Admin runs apt-get upgrade, pulling in a new micro version of your package that changes something totally unrelated to adduser. Now, adduser MUST NOT change away from /u. At least in Debian packages… but yes, configuration management is hard, and will remain so at least as long as #48717 (yes, five digits) is not fixed. bye, //mirabilos PS: sorry about broken From: in the last few posts, GMane Loom didn’t like me -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
