Bug#370223: angband: Upgrade woody-sarge has lost high-score file

2006-06-11 Thread Matthew Vernon
Hi,

  The only thing that removes the high score file is purging the
   package -- so is it a possibility that angband was somehow purged? If
   not, I see no mechanism for the high scores file to have been removed.

No, the package wasn't purged. I might even have a transcript of the
upgrade somewhere...

Ah, I see. We moved the directories for FHS compliance, 
 /var/lib/games/angband/apex - /var/games/angband/apex


Hmm, the bit in the postinst that tries to save the old score
 file is buggy (and it has been a long time since we moved to the new
 location). I'll see what I can do.

thanks

Hi,

I installed the woody versi0on in a UML, and updgraded to the
 latest version, and the apex scores file was untouched. This is
 commensurate with the code; the packages do not contain the high
 scores file, so it is not overridden on upgrades, and nothing in the
 postinst does anything but touch the files.

The only thing that removes the high score file is purging the
 package -- so is it a possibility that angband was somehow purged? If
 not, I see no mechanism for the high scores file to have been removed.

Bug#370223: angband: Upgrade woody-sarge has lost high-score file

2006-06-04 Thread Matthew Vernon
Package: angband
Version: 1:3.0.5-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

Hi,

I just upgraded my system from woody to sarge, and angband has forgotten all
the previous high-scores (though my monster memory remains intact); there
wasn't even a warning this was going to happen!

Cheers,

Matthew
