Package: openafs-client
Version: 1.4.12+dfsg-3
Severity: serious
Every upgrade for this package in the last year or more has
overwritten /etc/openafs/cacheinfo without querying the user, as is
required in Debian packages that are about to replace a configuration
file that has been changed by the user. This is a major problem for
anyone who has a non-default cacheinfo, as it may be impossible to use
AFS.
This appears to violate Sec 10.7.3 of the policy manual:
Configuration file handling must conform to the following behavior:
* local changes must be preserved during a package upgrade, and
...
Therefore, I have given this report a severity of "serious".
