I did this: $ dpkg -L moinmoin-common|grep 12_to $ Although I looked in this README.migration, I didn't exactly try to follow this 'generic' hint, although you are right in so far as the files are there. Instead, these files are in the package python2.3-moinmoin which I didn't take into account. Darn!

Yes, this is quite understandable. But a bigger warning a la "you need to shut down your wikis until you upgraded, possibly along with an option to bail out (like in the kernel-image packages) would imho be more appropriate since running with mixed code yields severly broken pages in the best case, and, according to the docs, corrupted data in the worst. > I have chosen to not introduce the use of debconf notes to not make the > packages unnecessary complex: The warning would be of use only for users > of testing and unstable - those must be prepared for surprises, and this > one does not include loss of data, only downtime of the service (and if > you want you can install an older package and old wikis will work fine > again). Thanks... I still wonder how users of woody will upgade once sarge hits the streets, then, and as to "no data loss" - the conversion scripts tell a different story. > For users of unstable and testing (and stable as well) I can warmly > recommend keeping track of at least NEWS items, by installing > apt-listchanges. I do have this package installed, and indeed saw a message amounting to "you need to upgrade manually". Best, --Toni++ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
