retitle -1 libgphoto2-2: Fails to preserve local changes to a config file
thanks
The source of the originally-reported problem is that files are
generated at install time which are not removed on purge:
postinst:
/usr/lib/$PACKAGE/print-usb-usermap $PACKAGE >/etc/hotplug/usb/$PACKAGE.usermap
ln -sf ../$PACKAGE.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/025_$PACKAGE.rules
/usr/lib/$PACKAGE/print-udev-rules /etc/hotplug/usb/$PACKAGE
>/etc/udev/$PACKAGE.rules
There is another problem; these overwrite local changes to the file.
The files shouldn't be written if they exist; or, you should use a ucf
style mechanism to prompt the user with a diff. It *might* be
considered sufficient to mark the file as generated, in the style of
/etc/modules.conf; this isn't clear to me, though:
{ echo "# Do not edit .. This is a generated file .. run .. to regenerate it";\
print-usb-usermap; } >$PACKAGE.usermap
Also, please explain what is special about 2.1.6-5.1, used in postinst
for version comparison.
