Interesting. When I rename an obsolete, modified conffile in preinst to .dpkg-bak, I can't find a reference anymore in /var/lib/dpkg/status or /var/lib/dpkg/info/$pkg.*
Where does dpkg store the information about conffile then? Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
