You'd need to use some clever scripting, like ucf. I guess if I keep them as configuration files, it needs only to check if a file exists or not before copying configuration files and if I changed them as conffiles I needs to check if they were changed or not with, for example, md5sums and rmoved unmodified files in preinst (with version check). ucf might be another option but I don't understand your point of conffiles won't work. Do you think you will be able get lync-cur rc-bug-free and add a transition package for lynx in time for lenny? I've concentrated on recent developement of Japanese TeX these days (if you have interests in this, please visit http://www1.pm.tokushima-u.ac.jp/~kohda/tex/ptexlive.en.html) so I don't take so much time for investigating this problem but I'll take time to fix this silly mistakes.

[...] Hello, Probably just a misunderstanding. I use the term confile exclusively for configuration files shipped directly in the .deb, where dpkg itself takes care of not overwriting local customizations. Your configuration file is not shipped in the .deb package but generated at installation time using locally supplied input (default homepage). *Imho* the default homepage debconf question is not worth the pain it causes, requiring configuration file managment in maintainer scripts. If it it was my package I would simply drop the debconf thingy and go for dpkg conffiles. ;-) cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
