Bug#363339: xserver-xorg no longer (?) checks for /var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum

[Brice Goglin]

Hi,

What's the status of this bug about xserver-xorg no longer checking for
/var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum ? David closed a similar one #331690
in 1:7.0.11. But Justin tried to reopen/merge/marked as found in later
releases and found a BTS problem (#365352). Is the bug actually gone
now? Do we still need to keep it open to debug the BTS?

Thanks,
Brice

I don't know; this is more a question for Don than anybody else.  He's
merged these bugs and tagged them pending so presumably he has a
handle on the situation.  He's also said to me that BTS found only
has the effect of implicitly reopening a bug when the found version
*exactly* matches the fixed version, not just if $found lt-ln $fixed,
although it was my understanding that this was one fundamental goal of
bts versioning.

Bug#363339: xserver-xorg no longer (?) checks for /var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum

[Kevin B. McCarty]

Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.14
Severity: normal

Hello,

On upgrading from xserver-xorg 1:7.0.12 to 1:7.0.14, the following
happened:

Preparing to replace xserver-xorg 1:7.0.12 (using 
.../xserver-xorg_1%3a7.0.14_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xserver-xorg ...
[snipped unrelated package output]
Setting up xserver-xorg (7.0.14) ...
cat: /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum: No such file or directory
xserver-xorg postinst warning: not updating /etc/X11/xorg.conf; file has
   been customized

This is funny because I am upgrading inside a Sid chroot from which I
never actually use X, so I am pretty sure I never modified
/etc/X11/xorg.conf myself.  Indeed, I find:

benjo (sid)[7]:~% md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf
0716b545a5f806493099ba26d6f25911  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
benjo (sid)[8]:~% ls /var/lib/x11/xorg*
/var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.roster
benjo (sid)[9]:~% ls /var/lib/xfree86/xorg*
/var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum  /var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.roster
benjo (sid)[10]:~% cat /var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum
0716b545a5f806493099ba26d6f25911  /etc/X11/xorg.conf


So why is it that xserver-xorg apparently saw the file at
/var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum just fine up through 7.0.12 [I never
remember seeing this error message before, although I suppose I could
have missed it], but upon upgrading to 7.0.14 it no longer checked there
(and apparently never bothered to migrate the md5sum file into
/var/lib/x11)?  Very strange.
