In http://bugs.debian.org/256583 regarding namazu, >> The standard WWWOFFLE installation procedure does not overwrite any >> files it will move the existing directory and put new ones in place.
P> The Debian installation will overwrite anything contained in the package P> that is outside /etc (for files in /etc it will prompt if changed since P> the last install). I'll add logic to not overwrite these files (i.e. P> install them to e.g. /usr/share/wwwoffle/<somewhere> and copy as needed P> during the install. Probably nothing should even go near a working namazu database. Perhaps it was this partial overwriting that caused mine to get Alzheimer's, while still the same size. Also 'moving' sounds like "we'll move grandma's hospital bed, wonder what all those funny wires were for."
