You don't need to subscribe to be able to post. Using one of the support channels before sending to d-devel or filing bugs is always helpful, because it saves maintainers from having to do the triaging in case this is a local user problem. > After upgrading to sid the conffiles don't seem to be installed any longer? > Examples are bash, passwd, basefiles and libpam-runtime.

If so, how to revert that change until it is stable! Well, you'll need to provide more information to be able to track this down, but d-d seems to be the completely wrong forum for this. I'd recommend checking your dpkg and apt configurations. Checking the apt logs. And for people to be able to help you'd need to provide that information, logs, and a description of what you did and did not, what you expected, what happened, etc. Did the files not get updated to the new version, did they disappear, etc, etc. Regards, Guillem
