[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#767936: mcollective, -client: prompting due to modified conffiles which were not modified by the user: /etc/mcollective/{client, server}.cfg

[Jean Baptiste Favre]

Hmmm, I forgot to include server.cfg in /usr/share/mcollective into
package mcollective. Therefore, package still fail to install.

Same problem happens with client.cfg which wasn't installed in
/usr/share/mcollective-client into mcollective-client package.

Please find attached a new patch which works.

Sorry for the noise.

By the way, /etc/mcollective/server.cfg won't be updated from
mcollective 2.0.0 (wheezy), since it already exists.

Problem is mcollective 2.0.0 use stomp as default connector.
This connector is not provided anymore by mcollective 2.6.0.
Therefore mcollective won't start after upgrade, even if enabled in
/etc/default/mcollective.

We should find a way to update /etc/mcollective/server.cfg with new
default version if it was not modified, or warn user about stomp removal
if it was.

Regards,
Jean Baptiste
