I don't believe that listing symlinks as conffiles works properly at the moment. See #421344. It doesn't make any sense to list a directory as a conffile. I think that exhausts all the non-regular files that can be in a Debian package. Symlinks as conffiles should ideally work. I think it's just a bug in dpkg that they don't. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
