--- Begin Message ---Package: uim-utils Version: 1:1.8.1-2 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Control: affects -1 + uim-yahoo-jp uim-viqr uim-social-ime fail/uim-skk uim-prime uim-pinyin uim-mozc uim-m17nlib uim-look uim-latin uim-latin uim-ipa-x-sampa uim-google-cgiapi-jp uim-chewing uim-canna uim-byeoru uim-baidu-olime-jp uim-anthy uim-ajax-ime Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed that all the uim module packages modify conffiles. This is forbidden by the policy, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-config-files 10.7.3: "[...] The easy way to achieve this behavior is to make the configuration file a conffile. [...] This implies that the default version will be part of the package distribution, and must not be modified by the maintainer scripts during installation (or at any other time)." Note that once a package ships a modified version of that conffile, dpkg will prompt the user for an action how to handle the upgrade of this modified conffile (that was not modified by the user). Further in 10.7.3: "[...] must not ask unnecessary questions (particularly during upgrades) [...]" If a configuration file is customized by a maintainer script after having asked some debconf questions, it may not be marked as a conffile. Instead a template could be installed in /usr/share and used by the postinst script to fill in the custom values and create (or update) the configuration file (preserving any user modifications!). This file must be removed during postrm purge. ucf(1) may help with these tasks. See also http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling In https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/09/msg00412.html and followups it has been agreed that these bugs are to be filed with severity serious. debsums reports modification of the following files, from the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): /etc/uim/installed-modules.scm /etc/uim/loader.scm Having the registration/unregistration of the modules done by uim-module-manager is perfectly fine, only the "registration database files" must not be conffiles and must be cleaned up during postrm purge. cheers, Andreas
