Bug Description
Binary package hint: lirc
On Kubuntu Gutsy as well as Hardy, upgrading the LIRC package overwrites/resets lircd's config files without asking or making a backup copy.
Affected files:
/etc/lirc/
/etc/lirc/
To post a comment you must log in.
not applicable for lircd.conf:
From lirc.postinst:
#if we have an existing file, back it up lircd.conf" ]; then lircd.conf /etc/lirc/ lircd.conf. dpkg-old
if [ -f "/etc/lirc/
mv /etc/lirc/
fi
For hardware.conf, i'll add a fix though.
