Package: debsums
Version: 2.0.39
Severity: normal
When updating debsums I received the following dialogue, but showing the
difference between the old and new config files showed the default
setting for the new config file "never" instead of the option I had just
selected "weekly".
The difference displayed should be between the new config file with the
option
selected against the old file, *not* the default config file in the new
version without the option selected applied against the old file.
Even better would be to interpret what option had been set in the old
/etc/default/debsums, show it to the user with a message suggesting a
new default checking option and then present the user with
the alternative options daily/weekly/monthly/never.
