Hmm, I think pkg executed the merge successfully when the test user was introduced here. Do you still have the transcript from this upgrade available to make sure that it didn't deinstall -runtime due to a conflict before reinstalling it? I spoke with bapt and manu about this a week or two ago when I used WITHOUT_SENDMAIL=yes and hit a conflict on /etc/mail/mailer.conf, because that's not really ideal from a user perspective. > I also find that /etc/mail/aliases keeps getting overwritten -- but that > file is not listed in the `config` section in the FreeBSD-runtime > manifest, which I think it probably should be. > Yeah, I noticed that when I was fixing the mailer.conf conflict... ^/usr.sbin/mailwrapper handles mailer.conf as a FILES (it never got converted to CONFS) while dmagent handles it as CONFS, and the ^/etc/Makefile installation of aliases does a straight install with just a package tag of aliases along with the various .sample/Makefile/README. aliases should be split out.
