Package: lynx
Version: 2.8.9dev8-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Lynx is ignoring my old user-configurations after an apt upgrade of my 
system.  Moving the new /etc/lynx/lynx.cfg away somewhere and then,

:~# cp /etc/lynx-cur/lynx.cfg /etc/lynx/lynx.cfg 

fixes this.

There used to be a postinst script which asked a question about 
whether you want to keep your old config file or use the developer's 
file, which I did not encounter this time during my apt upgrade.

Thank-you for your time on this package,
Tony
