Hi mates I somehow forgot to cc debian-release@ :( I will forward the message from the bugreport here and I set the reply-to to the bugreport. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Cheers Steffen ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: debian-edu-artwork: modifies conffile of other package Date: Wed, 4 Jul 2007 From: Steffen Joeris <white@debian.org> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit@bugs.debian.org> Package: debian-edu-artwork Severity: serious Justification: Policy 3.9 # This is not policy compilant, as $kdmrc is a conffile in # the kdm package, and we are editing it in a package # maintainer script. Need to come up with a better way to # do it. This is a quote from the update-artwork script, which is called by the maintainer scripts. We somehow forgot to fill this RC bug earlier. Right now, we fixed the problem with the new kdm default directory. I personally see two options for debian etch. First, removing debian-edu-artwork from Debian etch. We will keep it in our release and I do not expect any security problems from such a package, so I would be fine with that. Second idea would be to fix the debian-edu-artwork package in stable. But it should be noted that there won't be an upgrade path without editing the conffile again. Of course, we can provide a README.Debian file, which explains the issue. If that is desired, then I can prepare a stable upload next week. Cheers Steffen -------------------------------------------------------
