Bug#475882: kscreensaver: please remove old config files on upgrades
Package: kscreensaver
Version: 4:3.5.9-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I was cleaning up my /etc today, and noticed a few files, which don't
have an owner (dpkg -S tell so):
dpkg: /etc/kde3/decayscreenrc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/halorc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/laserrc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/gravrc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/forestrc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/rocksrc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/imsmaprc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/crystalrc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/flowrc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/sliprc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/interferencerc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/.kthemestylerc.lock nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/lissierc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/mountwatcher.desktop nicht gefunden. (kscreensaver???)
dpkg: /etc/kde3/deluxerc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/flamerc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/antrc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/driftrc nicht gefunden.

dpkg: /etc/kde3/kwritedrc nicht gefunden. (kscreensaver???)
dpkg: /etc/kde3/bubblesrc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/fadeplotrc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/bouboulerc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/kumpparc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/demonrc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/attractionrc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/penroserc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/coralrc nicht gefunden.
dpkg: /etc/kde3/gearsrc nicht gefunden.
After consulting with fabo on irc, he told my that those files are from
oldstable kde3.0 kdeartwork (the kscreensaver package from etch indeed doesn't have
this files anymore).
If those files are not necessary anymore, you should consider removing
them on upgrades. I'm not sure though, if all of the above files are
coming from kscreensaver, so please review carefully.
Cheers,
Michael
