Hi,

I have uploaded the new version containing the fix for the new RC bug
previously mentioned to svn, and asked for upload to t-p-u to my
sponsor[1].

About the bug and the fix, the problem was that /etc/dotlrn/config.tcl
was being modified by debconf on the install and, as it's marked as a
conffile, on the upgrade is detected as modified by the user (even if
that's not the case).

The fix consists in using another file (/etc/dotlrn/config.local)
containing the local config values, managed bu ucf and modified by
debconf on the install, and import these values from the original
config.tcl file. Also, the preinst script tries to revert the config.tcl
to its primordial state so it's not detected as modified on the upgrade.

Please let me know if you need more information or there is a problem.
Attached debdiff between 2.5.0+dfsg6 (version in testing) and 2.5.0
+dfsg-6+wheezy2 (the new version) for
your convenience.

Thank you very much for your time, and sorry for any inconvenience.
