Either that, or it shouldnt change anything if there is no DEBCONF section instead of changing everything. It does make a backup, but its not entirely obvious as it munges the date: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2658 Dec 10 12:38 XF86Config-4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2742 Aug 30 12:31 XF86Config-4.dexconf-backup I made a backup manually prior to the upgrade: $ diff XF86Config-4.dexconf-backup /root/XF86Config-4 (the files are the same) Thanks, Norbert
