Re: Bug#838112: uctodata: fails to upgrade from jessie - trying to overwrite /etc/ucto/es.abr

Hi Mattia, Andreas,

@Mattia: Thanks! I'm trying to finalize the packages but still running into something:

This is what I was looking for yes, I knew something must exist to take care of
this but didn't know what it was.  I now followed Andreas' instructions, but on but upon gbp buildpackage I now get
errors like:

/home/proycon/debian_packaging/uctodata/debian/uctodata.maintscript: 1: /home/proycon/debian_packaging/uctodata/debian/uctodata.maintscript: rm_conffile: not found 

So I'm still doing something wrong. Any idea what I am missing? You said no dpkg-maintscript-helper prefix..

Ciao,
