Why this? One would expect the opposite.

Because conffile modification are preserved by package install/upgrade (so you
don't lose your modifications when upgrading, for example), and removing a
conffile is a perfectly acceptable modification, which should be kept.

I perfectly understand that, but if one deletes it by error, he would
end up without any conffile, which could be pretty confusing.


I followed this thread by Paul Wise:

Ok, it did the job. But the obsolete issue still remains:

dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep obsolete
 /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml
790207e5d25ad049de0ffebde9d19684 obsolete

I'm not sure why it's shown as obsolete on your installation, because it's
definitely not. Also the checksum is wrong:

dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml
65d7008f598ba5cd1e193a0f2950fbf3

dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml 
65d7008f598ba5cd1e193a0f2950fbf3
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml 
790207e5d25ad049de0ffebde9d19684 obsolete


Rather strange. There is only one such file on my system.


What does dpkg -S /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-
shortcuts.xml returns for you?

libxfce4ui-common: 
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml

Is xfce-keyboard-shortcuts installed?

dpkg -l xfce-keyboard-shortcuts
ii  xfce-keyboard-shortcuts 4.12.1-2

Thanks for your help.

Best,
Steve
