That file is meant to avoid conflicts between the various dnsmasq daemons and a main system wide dnsmasq (as provided by the dnsmasq package). Unfortunately the design of the /etc/dnsmasq.d/<package> logic had one flaw. To allow restoring the original dnsmasq behaviour as quickly as possible, we put the removal of that file in the remove target of the postrm, which means that if removing and then reinstalling the package, the file would vanish. The new implementation uses a separate /etc/dnsmasq.d-available directory which contains standard conffiles (only removed on purge) and we now have postinst and postrm hooks to create/remove symlinks from /etc/dnsmasq.d-available/<package> to /etc/dnsmasq.d/<package>. == Test case == 1) Install current version from the archive 2) Remove it 3) Install it again 4) Confirm that the file in /etc/dnsmasq.d disappeared (that's the bug) 5) dpkg --purge <package> 6) Reinstall the current version from the archive 7) Update to the version from -proposed 8) Check that /etc/dnsmasq.d/<package> is now a symlink to /etc/dnsmasq.d-available/<package>. You may also want to check with some extra changes in the file prior to upgrade to confirm that it's being moved properly. == Regression potential == It's not the simplest conffile handling code you can think of and it's possible we missed something, though in testing, the solution appears reliable, properly transitions any user made change and allows for the user to remove the conffile if they wish. If something goes completely wrong, the worst we can end up with is a missing configuration (what we have currently anyway) or a configuration file where it was previously removed by the user. It's worth noting however that most of our users don't have the system wide dnsmasq daemon installed and those who do, typically want that configuration file anyway (or they'll get quite a mess at boot time), so I consider the risk to be minimal here. ------ original report ------- libvirt-bin deletes its own NON-obsolete conffile /etc/dnsmasq.d /libvirt-bin in its postrm with "rm", but postrm runs on upgrade, so this causes libvirt-bin to delete its own conffile on upgrade. Hence, anything that relies on /etc/dnsmasq.d/libvirt-bin will break whenever upgrading libvirt-bin to a newer version. libvirt-bin probably should use dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile. Repro steps: 1) Install latest version of libvirt-bin. Observe that /etc/dnsmasq.d/libvirt-bin is present. 2) Purge libvirt-bin and install an old version. Observe that /etc/dnsmasq.d/libvirt-bin is present. 3) Upgrade libvirt-bit to latest version. Observe that /etc/dnsmasq.d/libvirt-bin is gone. Expected: /etc/dnsmasq.d/libvirt-bin should be present on disk after each step, since it is shipped in both versions of the package. Actual: /etc/dnsmasq.d/libvirt-bin is gone after step 3. $ sudo apt-get install libvirt-bin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
