aliases trashed
During a recent hamm upgrade, I ended up with this;
yodeller# ls -l aliases*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 714 Mar 25 15:08 aliases
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1139 Jul 13 1997 aliases.1997-08-30.00:33:22
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 66 Nov 30 12:23 aliases.dpkg-dist
My original aliases file was gone; I don't think I would have told
dpkg to overwrite it, and doesn't it keep it as .dpkg-old or anything
like that anyway? It has been running without some important
system aliases for like a week now.
I wouldn't have named a file like that either, and the date in the
name is newer than the file date, but still ancient.
To say this is unacceptable is the understatement of the year.
How could it happen?
