Details

Description:

On update configuration files in /usr/share/config/kdm/ are overwritten with the exception of kdmrc. This is because only kdmrc is included in the package's backup array.

Additional info:
* package version(s) 4.10.4-1

Steps to reproduce:

Customise a configuration file other than kdmrc e.g. /usr/share/config/kdm/backgroundrc.

Update kdebase-workspace.

See that backgroundrc has been overwritten by a vanilla copy. This happens even if the default version of the file has not altered since the last update. The customised file is deleted and not moved to a pacsave. The new version is not installed as a pacnew (if it is new) or ignored (if it is not).

Configuration files affected:

/usr/share/config/kdm/Xreset
/usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
/usr/share/config/kdm/Xwilling
/usr/share/config/kdm/backgroundrc
/usr/share/config/kdm/Xaccess
/usr/share/config/kdm/Xsession
/usr/share/config/kdm/Xstartup

I assume these should be in the backup array for the package but are not.
This task depends upon
