Description:
When I made an update to minicom it failed as there where already an file /etc/minirc.dfl in the system.

Additional info:
* I do not know the version it updated from, it was installed a just a few says ago, The new version is minicom-2.4-2

Steps to reproduce:
I cannot but I guess:
* Install minicom version < 2.4.2
* Conifugre it and save configuration. Possibly just touch /etc/minirc.dfl
* Make upgrade to current version.

For me this failed.


My /etc/minirc.dfl:

# Machine-generated file - use "minicom -s" to change parameters.
pu port /dev/rfcomm0
pu minit
pu mreset
pu mhangup
pu localecho Yes

Rename config file (/etc/minirc.dfl) before and after the update works for me.
