Public bug reported:
On my system, the conffile /etc/network/if-up.d/samba is missing. This
is because the samba package's maintainer scripts run rm_conffile for
it:
$ grep -F 'dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile' /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.*
/var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.postinst:dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile
/etc/network/if-up.d/samba 2:3.6.5-6~ samba -- "$@"
/var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.postrm:dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile
/etc/network/if-up.d/samba 2:3.6.5-6~ samba -- "$@"
/var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.preinst:dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile
/etc/network/if-up.d/samba 2:3.6.5-6~ samba -- "$@"
/var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.prerm:dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile
/etc/network/if-up.d/samba 2:3.6.5-6~ samba -- "$@"
But this conffile is not obsolete:
$ grep -F /etc/network/if-up.d/samba /var/lib/dpkg/status
/etc/network/if-up.d/samba 2c617f0d1baebc4ba4177087a7eefc57
Indeed, looking inside the deb file, /etc/network/if-up.d/samba is still
there.
Actual behaviour:
samba runs rm_conffile for non-obsolete conffile /etc/network/if-
up.d/samba, so it is deleted on upgrade if the previously-installed
version precedes 2:3.6.5-6.
Expected behaviour:
Maintainer scripts should not delete non-obsolete conffiles.
