Upgrade glitches

[Bob Hilliard <hilliard@debian.org>]

     I'm running woody.  My last two upgrades (6/16 and today) have
included any upgrade of lynx.  In both cases, my lynx config file,
/etc/lynx.cfg, was replaced without asking permission, without even
reporting that is was doing so.  I don't know it this is a bug in
lynx, dpkg or debconf, but it is not correct behavior.

     I installed dict-gcide several weeks ago using dpkg -i (since i
maintain this package, I installed it manually as part of my testing).
Although dpkg -l showed this package as being installed, `apt-get
dist-upgrade' downloaded and re-installed the package.  After I
installed this package, `apt-cache show dict-gcide' showed the package
description, so apt was aware of the package.  Why, then, would
apt-get download and re-install the package?
