Hi all, I'm now playing with deb files, and had a nice day making my first deb, and my local repository... Just a problem: if I update the deb (correct the problem, dch -i, and again dpkg-buildpackage), simple apt-get update doesn't work, I need to purge it before... it's like it consider all files as conffiles! what have i to do, to update pippo_1.0-1.deb into a pippo_1.0-2.deb so that I don't have to do "dpkg -P pippo" before reinstall ?edit debian/changelog.
SOLVED Thank you, that was what I did with "dch -i"...what happened is that using dselect I couldn't see properly what was happening (asked me nothing, while doing "apt-get upgrade" I was asked of
Configuration file `/etc/logs/php/eth2'
==> File on system created by you or by a script.
==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** eth2 (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?
so, the package system is thinking that eth2 is a configuration file...
so if I cancel it, or modify, it isn't updated!
the problem was that any file in /etc directory is considered as
conffile, I suppose, because changing it in /var all worked right.
thank you, filippo
