I'm having a problem with something I thought was wery simple. I have two packages, webmin and webmin-ssl which are interchangeable (except as you've probably guessed one has SSL support, the other doesn't). They both install certain conffiles such as /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and /etc/init.d/webmin. In their control files, they provide, conflict and replace each other.
It seems to work well for the most part except if a user installs say, webmin followed by webmin-ssl and then tries to purge webmin, the conffiles for webmin-ssl get blown away! How can I allow the old, replaced package to be purged safely? -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's a girl! See the pictures - http://www.braincells.com/shailaja/
