Hi list, as you probably all know, conffiles from older package versions are kept on package upgrades, even if the new package version does not ship the conffile anymore. How do I best get rid of such an old/obsolete conffile? Simply delete it in preinst? Do I have to check if it was modified locally and if so, do I have to keep it around/rename it? I have to get rid of the old conffile somehow (I formerly had two files foo and bar. In the new package version, the content of foo has been included in bar, so I want to get rid of foo, otherwise I get clashes). Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
