Package:lirc Version: 0.9.4c-7 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Adequate reported multiple obsolete-conffiles for lirc -
[$] adequate lirc lirc: obsolete-conffile /etc/lirc/irexec.lircrc lirc: obsolete-conffile /etc/lirc/lircmd.conf lirc: obsolete-conffile /etc/lirc/hardware.conf lirc: obsolete-conffile /etc/lirc/lircd.conf lirc: obsolete-conffile /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf Maybe you could use what pabs (Paul Wise) did in #815563, in that the proper thing to do would be - Use the dpkg-maintscript-helper support provided by dh_installdeb to remove such similar obsolete conffiles on upgrade Also https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-config-files You can also see manpage of dh_installdeb vid debhelper package which is the same thing. I ran the same command as he did - [$] pkg=lirc ; adequate $pkg ; dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' $pkg | grep obsolete [1:34:10] lirc: obsolete-conffile /etc/lirc/irexec.lircrc lirc: obsolete-conffile /etc/lirc/lircmd.conf lirc: obsolete-conffile /etc/lirc/hardware.conf lirc: obsolete-conffile /etc/lirc/lircd.conf lirc: obsolete-conffile /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf /etc/lirc/irexec.lircrc 92df549c82f58ea28b605e5045984e04 obsolete /etc/lirc/lircmd.conf eca53bdc53bd5edc63cf06a4cff16b0d obsolete /etc/lirc/hardware.conf c07d8ba96f0df23488e1318dd95ff364 obsolete /etc/lirc/lircd.conf e5b59f3ea89c5c1fd838e506cec6cba0 obsolete /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf d2664e84bab19f7f36628d1de3f273dd obsolete You could potentially use https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;tag=obsolete-conffile;users=debian...@lists.debian.org#_4_3_5 OR/and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;tag=obsolete-conffile;users=debian...@lists.debian.org#_4_4_5 All of the bugs which are resolved therein are the same obsolete conffile issues. Hope the above helps in getting the above fixed. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lirc depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.46 ii libasound2 1.1.2-1 ii libc6 2.24-8 ii libftdi1-2 1.3-2 ii libgcc1 1:6.2.1-5 ii liblirc-client0 0.9.4c-7 ii liblirc0 0.9.4c-7 ii libportaudio2 19.6.0-1 ii libstdc++6 6.2.1-5 ii libudev1 232-8 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-30 ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.21-1 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii python3 3.5.1-4 lirc recommends no packages.
