Thanks so much for looking into this. I had a previous install from wheezy. To answer you, I setup a wheezy system today with mediawiki: wheezy apt-get install -t=wheezy --no-install-recommends apache2 apt-get install -t=wheezy --no-install-recommends mediawiki /etc/apache2/conf.d/mediawiki.conf -> /etc/mediawiki/apache.conf upgraded to jessie In jessie apache 2.2 to 2.4 there was the new new conf.d -> conf-available I diverted to: /apache2/config.d/mediawiki.conf to /apache2/config-available a2enconf mediawiki apt-mark hold mediawiki upgraded to stretch apt-mark unhold mediawiki apt-get remove --purge mediawiki dpkg-divert --remove /etc/apache2/conf.d/mediawiki.conf at this point we should be a clean install *but the diverted link is still in place* /etc/apache2/conf-available/mediawiki.conf -> /etc/mediawiki/apache.conf apt-get install -t=stretch --no-install-recommends mediawiki and we blow up as before. The odd thing is because this is a link the is no conffile prompt. A new mediawiki.conf.dpkg-new is silently dropped in /etc/apache/conf-available If I remove the link and just touch /etc/apache2/conf-available/mediawiki.conf The conffile dialog comes up as expected. I guess this is why dh $@ --with apache2 is making a separate copy of mediawiki.conf in /etc/apache2/config-available. I certainly violates the principle of least surprise to have it and /etc/mediawiki/mediawiki.conf not be linked otherwise. So I think this is a perfect storm of edge case behaviors. Not much you need to do. I would close this with maybe an upgrade note to a2disconf and remove the link. Thank again for looking into this and for your work packaging wikimedia. Dana
