ucf (3.0011) unstable; urgency=low
* [debiandir:8949365] Fix VCS-Browser URL
* [debiandir:ede9c73] Do not depend on cdebconf as an alternative
ucf relies heavily on debconf to do its job, and thus depends on it. Way
back when, it was told to me that we arte going to move to cdebconf,
which at some point will be the preferred way. In the meantime, to
facilitate the future transition, we should all depend on
debconf | cdebconf
to make life in the future easier.
Now, as of version 3.005, ucf started using a feaure that has long been a
part of cdebconf, but was only ported to debconf in version 1.5.19, so
now ucf started depending on:
debconf (>= 1.5.19) | cdebconf
and this is where trouble beings.
Suppose a machine running stable has cdebconf installed. It also has an
old version of debconf installed, say, one that is older than
1.5.19. Since cdebconf was installed, the dependency requirements are
fully satisfied, so debconf was not updated.
Now, ucf follows the instructions in debconf-devel(7) -- and that just
uses debconf, the older version which does nothave support for the
feature ucf needs. Boom, there goes the update.
This is a grave bug.
