Hello,

I apt-get dist-upgrade 'ed a system to Lenny and selected to not use the 
package maintainers .conf file for "syslog" during that install.


After documenting the changes from the old syslog.conf I'm now trying to 
reinstall sysklogd to acquire the package maintainers /etc/sysklogd.conf.


Is there a way to reinstall the sysklod package and have it prompt me 
again to use the package maintainers sysklogd.conf?





I'd try:
# apt-get --reinstall sysklod

Surely there's an analogous aptitude option.

Use one of the following:

dpkg --force-confmiss -i 
apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install 
aptitude -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" reinstall 

You *might* have to delete/move sysklogd.conf first.
