Bug#568283: exim4-config: Upgrade exim4, the DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF check should IGNORE *~ and *.dpkg-old files

[otahal at lw-datentechnik.de]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.69-9
Severity: normal


update-exim4.conf checks for DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF recursivly, which would
NORMALLY be good, but it should ignore *~ and *.dpkg-old files, it took me
quite a while to find out what was going on.

regards,

Joachim Otahal

"log" of how I fixed it:

gateway:/etc/exim4# update-exim4.conf              
DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF found in exim configuration. This is most probably 
caused by you upgrading to exim4 4.67-3 or later without accepting the 
suggested conffile changes. Please read
