https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D232412 Bug ID: 232412 Summary: pkg: message during upgrade "You may need to manually remove <configfile> if it is no longer needed." Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: stb@lassitu.de When upgrading packages with pkg, for some packages a message is emitted du= ring the upgrade like the following: [3/3] Fetching gitea-1.5.2.txz: 100% 15 MiB 15.3MB/s 00:01=20=20=20=20 ... [3/3] Upgrading gitea from 1.5.1 to 1.5.2... =3D=3D=3D> Creating groups. Using existing group 'git'. =3D=3D=3D> Creating users Using existing user 'git'. [3/3] Extracting gitea-1.5.2: 100% Stopping gitea. Waiting for PIDS: 2440, 2440. You may need to manually remove /usr/local/etc/gitea/conf/app.ini if it is = no longer needed. I assume this message is produced when de-installing the previous version, = but it's not obvious to the casual user where it comes from, or why it's emitte= d. Since the package continues to be installed, the config file is in fact sti= ll needed, and deleting it would likely make the installed package unusable. Ideally, the message would only be emitted when deinstalling a package. For upgrades, the message should only be shown if the file in question is actua= lly not part of the new version anymore. Otherwise, nothing should be printed. # pkg info -I pkg pkg-1.10.5_5 Package manager # uname -a FreeBSD repo.zs64.net 11.2-STABLE FreeBSD 11.2-STABLE #10 r338650: Thu Sep = 13 16:53:15 UTC 2018 root@redacted amd64 --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
