Simone; Is it possible that you made your configuration in the base files ( possibly under /usr/lib or /usr/share ) rather than the global or per-domain configuration files ( usually under /etc/sympa ) ? If you change the base default files, these will be replaced when the package is upgraded. All changes should be made by overriding the defaults using the /etc/sympa config files. Another possibility is that the package was created wrong and did not specify the config directory or file. This would be the case if you were to find your /etc/sympa.conf or /etc/wwsympa.conf being overwritten by a new package version. Steve On 19/01/17 01:08, Simone Dal Maso (via

Hello, yesterday during a regular apt-get update and upgrade some software were updated, and also sympa. I have sympa 6.1.23. I was not care about the version, but the surprise was that, after the upgrade, I have a new sympa installed, and all my configuration was... lost. This is not acceptable... sorry but really I think iit is absurde that during an update all configurations file were lost. Anyway, I restored a backup of 2 days ago, and if I type: apt-get upgrade -s for simulating, I can see: Conf sympa (6.1.23~dfsg-2+deb8u1 Debian:8.7/stable [amd64]) so the version is the same? 6.1.23? And what can I do now for preventing my system to update sympa and lost everything? --
