--- Begin Message ---Package: xfonts-wqy Version: 0.9.9-2 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 10.7.3 The postinst script in 0.9.9-2 checks the old fontconfig settings in /etc/fonts/conf.d/ and cleans them up during upgrade. However, the way it is handled violates the policy requirement about conffiles. Quote policy 10.7.3: "Configuration file handling must conform to the following behavior: ... local changes must be preserved during a package upgrade ...". However, in xfonts-wqy's postinst: # Clean up old config files if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 0.9.9; then rm -f $CONFDIR/wqy.conf fi This will delete the /etc/fonts/conf.d/wqy.conf conffile even if it's locally modified. Although user modification of this file is not very likely, it's nonetheless a conffile already shipped in etch. And I think upgrades between stable releases should be treated very seriously. The fix is also not very hard, the script just need to check the md5sum of the conffile, something like the examples in [1]. 1. http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling Ming 2007.12.22
