I've uploaded a patch to precise-proposed to fix this. Thanks! ** Description changed:
+ [Impact] + Users that upgrade to 12.04 LTS will have a leftover config file /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf. This will be confusing, since the file is no longer used by unity-greeter. In addition, it is sloppy, since such files are supposed to be cleaned up by packaging. + + Leaving such files also causes the automatic upgrade tests to fail. See + https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/precise-upgrade-oneiric-desktop/263/ + for example. + + [Test Case] + In a 12.04 chroot with precise-proposed enabled, you could download the 11.10 version of unity-greeter, and do the following: + $ sudo dpkg -i --force-all unity-greeter_0.1.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb + $ ls /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf + $ sudo apt-get install unity-greeter + $ ls /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf + + The first check should show the conffile present. It should be deleted + by installing unity-greeter from -proposed. + + [Regression Potential] + Can't think of any. The patch I'm using uses the dpkg-maintscript-helper support, so all the usual corner cases (user modified conffile) are automatically taken care of. + + [Original Report] oneiric to precise upgrade : desktop | main | universe arch: i386 | amd64 obsolete config file: unity-greeter /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf Link to an example failed test run: https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/precise-upgrade-oneiric-desktop/263/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1050769 Title: obsolete config files of unity-greeter left after the oneiric 2 precise upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1050769/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
