Bug#851536: debian-edu-artwork: Adequate reports obsolete conffile for debian-edu-artwork
Package: debian-edu-artwork
Version: 0.902-1
Severity: important
User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org
Usertags: obsolete-conffile adequate
Dear Maintainer,
Adequate reports obsolete-conffile for debian-edu-artwork
[$] adequate debian-edu-artwork
debian-edu-artwork: obsolete-conffile /etc/X11/Xsession.d/25debian-edu-artwork
Maybe you could use what pabs (Paul Wise) did in #815563, in that the
proper thing to do would be -
Use the dpkg-maintscript-helper support provided by dh_installdeb to
remove such similar obsolete conffiles on upgrade
Also https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-config-files
You can also see manpage of dh_installdeb vid debhelper package which
is the same thing.
I ran the same command as he did -
─[$] pkg=debian-edu-artwork ; adequate $pkg ; dpkg-query -W
-f='${Conffiles}\n' $pkg | grep obsolete
debian-edu-artwork: obsolete-conffile /etc/X11/Xsession.d/25debian-edu-artwork
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/25debian-edu-artwork
a46780de0e1cf59c4edd003134620d24 obsolete
You could potentially use
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;tag=obsolete-conffile;users=debian-qa@lists.debian.org#_4_3_5
OR/and
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=unstable;tag=obsolete-conffile;users=debian-qa@lists.debian.org#_4_4_5
All of the bugs which are resolved therein are the same obsolete
conffile issues.
Hope the above helps in getting the above fixed.
