tags: patch
Package: fai
Version: 2.8.2
The attached patch should correct the problem of incorrect postinst
behaviour when editing conffiles, which lead to user's manual changes where
overwritten.
With this patch applied, postinst will read the old value from the conffile,
no matter if it was changed or not, and takes even the manual set value as
default, not changing it when the user stays with the default. That way, the
conffile can be edited manually, debconf will take manual edited values as
default, and dpkg-reconfigure will even work correctly with manual changed
values.
