So you never installed any php extension packages, or you refused to let these packages auto-update php.ini for you? i think i've seen this as well. afaict the problem is because in the old version of php, the php.ini file was *copied* from /usr/share during the postinst script, and thus in 4.4.4-4 (when ucf was introduced), the first time it's run it sees the existing file and treats it as locally modified. so then, the fix for this would be to check for upgrades from 4.4.4-4 when php.ini hasn't been modified, and to copy over the new file before running ucf to register it? sean signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Do you mean php extensions packages write to php config file ? That sounds like a policy infrigment to me... As far as I can tell, there is a conf.d directory containing the php4-mysql config, though I can't tell for sure if it was the case before.

It's not a conffile and it's coordinated, so no, it's not a policy infringement -- it's just messy. When I first installed the new package I did get the ucf prompt, because my old php.ini had extension= lines added to it as expected. But Sean seems to think that this may happen even with an unmodified php.ini; he probably knows better than I do. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
