[SOLVED] fuse3 package upgrade overwrites config file

chrisVV · 12-16-2019, 02:57 PM

The fuse3 package in slackware64-current, including the latest fuse3-3.9.0-x86_64-1 version, overwrites /etc/fuse.conf when upgradepkg is called on it.

It would be much better if it did the conventional thing when upgrading where a user version has been provided, and install the configuration file in /etc/fuse.conf.new.

Perhaps that should be the default on all doinst.sh scripts?

I think it normally is for configuration files. It seems to be a bug in the build script, which is what prompted me to post about it.

l/fuse3-3.9.0-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Install fuse.conf as fuse.conf.new. This won't prevent an existing config
file from being overwritten with this upgrade, but it will prevent that
from happening again moving forward. Thanks to chrisVV.
