2012-10-22 16:30:21 Michael Terry description oneiric to precise upgrade : desktop | main | universe arch: i386 | amd64 obsolete config file: unity-greeter   /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf Link to an example failed test run: https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/precise-upgrade-oneiric-desktop/263/ [Impact] Users that upgrade to 12.04 LTS will have a leftover config file /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf. This will be confusing, since the file is no longer used by unity-greeter. In addition, it is sloppy, since such files are supposed to be cleaned up by packaging. Leaving such files also causes the automatic upgrade tests to fail. See https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/precise-upgrade-oneiric-desktop/263/ for example. [Test Case] In a 12.04 chroot with precise-proposed enabled, you could download the 11.10 version of unity-greeter, and do the following: $ sudo dpkg -i --force-all unity-greeter_0.1.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb $ ls /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf $ sudo apt-get install unity-greeter $ ls /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf The first check should show the conffile present. It should be deleted by installing unity-greeter from -proposed. [Regression Potential] Can't think of any. The patch I'm using uses the dpkg-maintscript-helper support, so all the usual corner cases (user modified conffile) are automatically taken care of.
