Bug#255269: tetex-extra: conffile handling confuses dpkg
Package: tetex-extra
Version: 2.0.2-9
Severity: normal
At configure time I see the following. Looks like a usual behaviour we get
when a conffile gets moved and dpkg cannot know about the move, but here it
seems to show that dpkg believes I had manually removed omega.map and writes
a possibly-confusing warning.
Setting up tetex-extra (2.0.2-9) ...
Configuration file `/etc/texmf/dvips/omega.map'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
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.
