the problem is that dpkg does not keep track of the original "pristine" version of the conffile, so there's no 3rd version for the 3 way merge. some time ago i brought this up on dpkg-dev and even provided patches providing exactly this feature, but the dpkg maintainer didn't really seem interested. sean -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
