tag 352228 unreproducible severity 352228 normal thanks On Tue, 14 Feb 2006, Hans Fugal wrote: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf I'm sorry I see absolutely no way dpkg could have just decided to overwrite your config. You must have some setting somewhere that tells it to do this. I'm not going to close the bug report because there may be something I'm missing but I'm reducing the severity. Dovecot will not be able to enter testing otherwise. I would appreciate it if you would keep me informed on any new info you find about this bug and I'm sorry we cannot come to a definitive resolution yet. -- Jaldhar H.

Hmm, I find this a little difficult to believe. The Debian package system
doesn't overwrite conffiles unless you specifically ask it to. Which
version were you upgrading from? Did the entire configuration get
overwritten or only certain settings?
The entire config was rewritten with the default, and my config was
moved to dovecot.conf.dpkg-old. I know debian conffiles are supposed to keep
changes, and that's why I filed a bug report. It did this to me last
time I upgraded as well, but at that juncture the config file format had
changed so drastically I figured it was on purpose.
