I think that will work. I just didn't quite get through with my testing in order to verify that was the issue I was seeing but updated the status in the middle regardless since it drew a report from Erwin on the issue too. It would be great if upgrades through Sid could be smooth but Sid is unstable and that isn't always practical. To be clear I am okay if an intermediate upgrade through some Sid needs some manual help. Sometimes that is unavoidable. But of course a smooth upgrade from Oldstable to the new Stable in the future at release time is always the goal. I think your solution using dpkg-maintscript-helper should guarantee that just fine. So no urgency on this issue now. Just trying to keep improving it. Thanks again for maintaining php! Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
