Package: slbackup
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n patch
Dear maintainer,
Running dpkg-reconfigure slbackup fails when there is a
/etc/slbackup/slbackup.conf file in place.
This problem can be solved with the attached patch applied to
debian/slbackup.postinst.
A real life test with the patched file showed that a reconfiguration of
slbackup with dpkg-reconfigure is possible.

Kind regards,
Frans Spiesschaert
