Have the upgrade and install paths paths of this scenario been tested? And the case of locally modified/removed config files? I'll take libfoo as an example package that ships /etc/foo.conf apt-get install libfoo:arch1 modify-or-delete /etc/foo.conf apt-get install libfoo:arch2 # libfoo=1 is available apt-get install libfoo:arch1=1 libfoo:arch2=1 modify-or-delete /etc/foo.conf apt-get update # makes libfoo=2 available # libfoo=2 comes with a modified foo.conf apt-get dist-upgrade # libfoo=1 is available apt-get install libfoo:arch1=1 libfoo:arch2=1 apt-get update # makes libfoo=2 available # libfoo=2 uses dpkg-maintscript-helper to get rid of foo.conf apt-get dist-upgrade Just curious ...
