Changes in a conffile
Hi, The htdig package uses a configuration file, /etc/htdig/htdig.conf, which defines the location of a database file. In a recent version I changed the location of the default path to comply with the debian policy. An upgrade of the htdig can fail now (bug #133867), because this location should be changed in the configuration file too. Can I modify the location (if it's still listed as the old location) in the configuration file from the postinst script? Policy (ch 11.7) is not very clear about it IMHO. Thanks, Stijn.

Now you can use your own machine to fix your code on gcc-3.0, and you don't need a chroot on an hppa machine. Ah, I see. Sorry I misread it, your right.

Htdig's english wordlist
Hi, I've just taken over the htdig package and now I'm going through the outstanding bugs. My question relates to bugs #74523 and #104607. The htdig package uses an english wordlist which is now located in /etc/htdig/ - just a list of english words. Changing this file changes the behaviour of htdig. According to the Debian policy, it should therefore be a conffile (11.7.1): A file that affects the operation of a program, or provides site- or host-specific information, or otherwise customizes the behavior of a program. The htdig wordlist is 930 kB and pretty big for in /etc. The package wenglish contains a similar list of english words, only smaller (45392 vs 87536 words). Should I modify htdig that it uses the system-wide list?
