[Pkg-freeradius-maintainers] Bug#839931: Bug#839931: freeradius-config: fails to upgrade from 'sid' - trying to overwrite /etc/freeradius/clients.conf

[Michael Stapelberg]

I think the issue is that the file(s) in question (e.g.
/etc/freeradius/hints) are marked as conffiles in freeradius
2.2.8+dfsg-0.1+b3:

# grep hints /var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.*
/var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.conffiles:/etc/freeradius/hints
/var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.list:/etc/freeradius/hints
/var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.postinst:              /etc/freeradius/hints \
/var/lib/dpkg/info/freeradius.prerm:          /etc/freeradius/hints \

When updating, the entry vanishes from freeradius.conffiles, but stays in
freeradius.list:

# dpkg -i freeradius-common_3.0.12+dfsg-1_all.deb
 freeradius_3.0.12+dfsg-1_amd64.deb libfreeradius3_3.0.12+dfsg-1_amd64.deb

anbe, do you know how this situation should be properly handled? Do I need
to use rm_conffiles in the maintscripts?

Thanks!
