Bug#710321: task: didn't handle conffile rename correctly

Indeed… Quoting the manpage: “If the conffile has not been shipped for several versions, and you are now modifying the maintainer scripts to clean up the obsolete file, prior-version should be based on the version of the package that you are now preparing, not the first version of the package that lacked the conffile.” Just fixed (yes really, in the prepared 2.4.2+dfsg-1 version), thanks Jakub! Just tested, and it's work fine, now… # Setting up taskwarrior (2.4.2+dfsg-1) ... # Installing new version of config file /etc/bash_completion.d/task ... # Removing obsolete conffile /etc/bash_completion.d/task.sh ...

Control: found -1 2.4.1+dfsg-3 I still see both conffiles on my disk: $ ls -l /etc/bash_completion.d/task* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6082 Mar 1 22:51 /etc/bash_completion.d/task -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6082 Mar 1 22:51 /etc/bash_completion.d/task.sh I believe it's because the version passed to dpkg-maintscript-help is too low.

Bug#710321: task: didn't handle conffile rename correctly
Source: task Version: 2.1.2-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 10.7.3 task_2.0.0-1 ships this conffile: /etc/bash_completion.d/task task_2.1.2-1 ships it as: /etc/bash_completion.d/task.sh Unfortunately, I forgot to add maintainer scripts to deal with this rename. As a consequence, users who upgraded the package have now both of the files on disk. :( My current plan how to fix this: 1) Revert to the original filename: /etc/bash_completion.d/task 2) rm_conffile /etc/bash_completion.d/task.sh It's not ideal, but I don't think any extra complexity is worth the effort, given that the broken package has been in unstable for less than 3 weeks. If anybody has a better idea, please speak up! -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
