Hi, I've started using dpkg in the company I work for now. Before that I was not familiar with the tool. My question is in regard to the fact when/how are files installed in /etc/default when I run 'dpkg -i pkg.deb'.
What I've observed is that missing or modified file in /etc/default is never installed or replaced, even when missing on the filesystem and present in the deb package. If file in /etc/default is missing it can be forced with 'dpkg --force-all -i pkg.deb', that works. This is not the case for eg. files placed in /opt/bin (the same package). I guess that there is a resonable explanatin for this and that is what I'm looking for. PS. I can provide more info about the package if needed and complete fail case. Thank you, Hinko -- .. the more I see the less I believe.., AE AoR -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
