Package: mailcap
Version: 3.67
Severity: normal
Hi Charles,
as discussed via pm here the bugreport.
On my debian unstable these files are marked as obsolete conffiles since
mailcap 3.67:
I use this to detect obsolete conffiles:
% command dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | command grep 'obsolete$'
/etc/mime.types f4631d08bcc92bf2dde274696d7b4b35 obsolete
/etc/mailcap.order ba07e08a7fe3741d0b8339127963190e obsolete
this is opposite of your:
% command dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' mime-support media-types
mailcap
/etc/mailcap.order ba07e08a7fe3741d0b8339127963190e
/etc/mime.types f4631d08bcc92bf2dde274696d7b4b35
/etc/mime.types f4631d08bcc92bf2dde274696d7b4b35 obsolete
/etc/mailcap.order ba07e08a7fe3741d0b8339127963190e obsolete
I have routines to auto-delete obsolete conffiles.
So these files are gone already. If needed i have backups thou.
As asked:
% command ls -1 /var/lib/dpkg/info/mime-support.*
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mailcap.* /var/lib/dpkg/info/media-types.*
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mailcap.conffiles
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mailcap.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mailcap.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mailcap.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mailcap.prerm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mailcap.triggers
/var/lib/dpkg/info/media-types.conffiles
/var/lib/dpkg/info/media-types.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/media-types.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mime-support.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mime-support.md5sums
% command cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/mailcap.conffiles
/etc/mailcap.order
% command cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/media-types.conffiles
/etc/mime.types

Thanks and
kind regards,

Hello,
I am closing this bug as 1) there is apparently nothing that the mailcap
package can do to stop the mime-support package from reporting an
obsolete configuration file with the same name, and 2) this misbehaviour
of mime-support is already being tracked in #978984.
Have a nice day,
Charles
