Bug#886389: dpkg: conffile marked as obsolete after being taken over by different package

[Fabio Fantoni]

Hi, I had the same issue when moving conffiles from one xapp package to another (of the same source), I did a test also with rm_conffile but on first upgrade remove the conffile of the new package remaining without the file (very bad thing) so I keep it marked as obsolete (which is less worse).

thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english

Some days ago I had to do another conffile move in xapp (package split to solve a policy issue) e one also in freeipmi, I searched and asked on irc for a solution to avoid the "obsolete conffile issue" but not found for now :( can someone tell me if there is a way to workaround this on packaging waiting for a definitive solution please?
