Hi, during an upgrade test with piuparts I noticed your package installs files over an existing symlink, overwriting files from another package in a way that is not detected by dpkg: 0m44.0s INFO: dirname part contains a symlink: /etc/lazarus/environmentoptions.xml != /etc/lazarus-0.9.30.4/environmentoptions.xml (lcl-utils) /etc/lazarus/helpoptions.xml != /etc/lazarus-0.9.30.4/helpoptions.xml (lcl-utils) Looks like /etc/lazarus was a symlink in squeeze and is a directory in wheezy. Note that dpkg intentionally does not replace directories with symlinks and vice versa. This creates a serious mess with the conffiles in /etc ... There are also some obsolete conffiles (could be false positives due to this symlinkmess), look at dpkg-maintscript-helper for easy cleanup: OBSOLETE CONFFILE /etc/lazarus/helpoptions.xml REGISTERED BY lcl-utils (MODIFIED) OBSOLETE CONFFILE /etc/lazarus/environmentoptions.xml REGISTERED BY lcl-utils (MODIFIED) and there are files left on the system after purge: 0m46.6s INFO: Warning: Package purging left files on system: /etc/lazarus.bak/ not owned /etc/lazarus.bak/environmentoptions.xml not owned /etc/lazarus.bak/helpoptions.xml not owned I didn't look at the maintainer scripts or the package to analyze what's going on (or what was intended to happen). Cheers, Andreas
