No, you miss how I'm doing it - the preinst gives the long warning if and only if the -menu file was one of the config. files of the previously installed fvwm95; otherwise, yes, there would be the problem you refer to. Another way to put it is that the type of warnings you get depend not on what version you're upgrading TO, but what version you're upgrading FROM. This doesn't mean that it still might not be better to simply issue warnings and never do the 'exit 1' in the preinst. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
