Public bug reported: I needed to make a change in /etc/init/network-interface.conf to make my persistent PPP connection work with upstart. However my change kept going away after a couple of months. It took me a while to figure out why. The files installed by ifupdown in /etc/init are not marked as conffiles!
Please mark /etc/init/network-interface.conf and friends as conffiles, so if a sysadmin needs to make change to these files, they are retained and do not disappear silently the next time the ifupdown package is upgraded! ** Affects: ifupdown (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/816117 Title: Files installed by ifupdown in /etc/init should be conffiles To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/816117/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
