Package: sympa Version: 6.1.22~dfsg-1~bpo70+1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading my Sympa installation from 6.1.11 (regular wheezy package) to 6.1.22 (wheezy backport) some changes to my Sympa configuration files were applied without my consent nor my knowledge. In /etc/sympa/sympa.conf the hostname of the machine was used instead of the previously configured name in the 'domain', 'listmaster' and 'wwsympa_url' parameters (interestingly, not in 'soap_url'). In /etc/sympa/wwsympa.conf the 'use_fast_cgi' setting was changed from 1 to 0. Obviously, after those changes, my Sympa installation was not working anymore. I think those files shouldn't be changed automatically if they have already been modifed by the server's admin. A working installation is transformed into a non working one. Why not use the regular Debian mechanism of asking if a user wants to upgrade the configuration files before performing any change? Thanks for your attention to this.
