Thanks, one more thing, The dbab can upgrade from oldstable (Buster) just fine, but I'm trying to remove the conffile files no longer exist since then (dbab_1.3.2-2), | If the conffile has not been shipped for several versions, and you are now modifying the maintainer scripts to clean up the obsolete file, prior-version should be based on the version of the package that you are now preparing, not the first version of the package that lacked the conffile. So I did this: $ cat debian/dbab.maintscript rm_conffile /etc/dnsmasq.d/dbab.adblock.conf 1.5.7-2~ rm_conffile /etc/dnsmasq.d/dbab.trashsites.conf 1.5.7-2~ rm_conffile /etc/dbab/dbab.proxy 1.5.7-2~ However, when I installed my 1.5.7-2 built such a way, I found the above files are still there.
For me, the /etc/dbab/dbab.proxy *did* get removed, and the rest two are still present. Logs pasted at the end of this email. This is kinda expected I think. The reason is because "/etc/dbab/dbab.proxy" is present with the package installation in buster, and the rest two files are created during the postinst script. As far as I read the code, please see here[1] rm_conffile will work only when the config file belongs to the package, which is not "established" in this case. In buster version, $ dpkg -S /etc/dnsmasq.d/dbab.* dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /etc/dnsmasq.d/dbab.adblock.conf dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /etc/dnsmasq.d/dbab.trashsites.conf $ dpkg -S /etc/dbab/dbab.proxy dbab: /etc/dbab/dbab.proxy So I think you will have to manually take care of these two in postinst, I am not sure if there is a better way.
