The behaviour you have described does not make the package useless to everyone, cause data loss, or introduce a security hole. > I was wondering why I wasn't able to configure X for my new graphics card. > > A XFree86Config-4 without a .md5sum file is the common case for people > upgrading from Debian 3.0. > > dpkg-reconfigure should really work in such cases. > > Perhaps some kind of "Do you _really_ want to overwrite this file?" > question would do, but silently doing nothing is IMHO even wrong when it's > documented in a README. At least a big fat message "NOTHING WAS WRITTEN, > please read /path/to/FAQ." should be issued. It would be nice if it would say this, probably only on upgrade from versions with the old-school config handling. While this is definitely a valid report, let me again reiterate that it is in no way RC. This doesn't mean it shouldn't be fixed - it just means that very few bugs are grave/serious/critical. In my mind, this belongs in the same severity as 'XFree86 segfaults when I run it on my M9' bugs. -- Daniel Stone <daniels@debian.org> Debian: the universal operating system http://www.debian.org
