Re: [2002-03-10] Release Status Update
> filterproxy
Patch is provided by submitter, a Debian Maintainer himself i think.
Just a bad sequence in which files are copied and chown'ed in the
postinst. I'd use a different fix though.
I'd move the failing chown directly after the creation of the new config
file if it did not exist - that way the file doesn't get chown'ed on
each upgrade, possibly annoying the admin ;)

So if no one objects, i'll NMU filterproxy for fixing #135575.
I happen to like that app and use it everyday. ;)
Actually i'm going to put my update into DELAYED right now.
Upgrades of filterproxy are bad due to the perl config file format, and
the config file being automatically overwritten by the web configurator,
but that's another issue and certainly not relevant for woody...
