Bug Description
Lars Wirzenius's piuparts run [1] reveals that im-switch has left an obselete file /etc/X11/
1. https:/
2. http://
The nature of this bug is that im-switch has a list of the md5sum of old versions of this file and removes it during upgrades only if the md5sum match, otherwise it just prints a warning saying the file is modified and leaves it alone (because it's a conffile). Dapper has a very old version 1.3, and the md5sum of that version is not stored in the maintainer's script.
This fix is trivial, just add the md5sum of the dapper version. Any other supported upgrades should not be affected. The fix can also be dropped after hardy release.
