Bug#363339: xserver-xorg no longer (?) checks for /var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.14
Severity: normal
Hello,
On upgrading from xserver-xorg 1:7.0.12 to 1:7.0.14, the following
happened:
Preparing to replace xserver-xorg 1:7.0.12 (using .../xserver-xorg_1%3a7.0.14_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xserver-xorg ...
[snipped unrelated package output]
Setting up xserver-xorg (7.0.14) ...
cat: /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum: No such file or directory
xserver-xorg postinst warning: not updating /etc/X11/xorg.conf; file has
been customized
This is funny because I am upgrading inside a Sid chroot from which I
never actually use X, so I am pretty sure I never modified
/etc/X11/xorg.conf myself. Indeed, I find:
benjo (sid)[7]:~% md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf
0716b545a5f806493099ba26d6f25911 /etc/X11/xorg.conf
benjo (sid)[8]:~% ls /var/lib/x11/xorg*
/var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.roster
benjo (sid)[9]:~% ls /var/lib/xfree86/xorg*
/var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum /var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.roster
benjo (sid)[10]:~% cat /var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum
0716b545a5f806493099ba26d6f25911 /etc/X11/xorg.conf
So why is it that xserver-xorg apparently saw the file at
/var/lib/xfree86/xorg.conf.md5sum just fine up through 7.0.12 [I never
remember seeing this error message before, although I suppose I could
have missed it], but upon upgrading to 7.0.14 it no longer checked there
(and apparently never bothered to migrate the md5sum file into
/var/lib/x11)? Very strange.
