i removed /etc/csh.cshrc and /etc/csh.login. aparently there were some ._cfg... files still hanging around. i ran etc-update and saw this: fireball root # etc-update Scanning Configuration files... diff: /etc/csh.cshrc: No such file or directory Automerging trivial changes in: csh.cshrc diff: /etc/csh.login: No such file or directory Automerging trivial changes in: csh.login and of course the files re-appeared. etc-update should not automerge files which have been removed.
I think this is a bug in diff (or even in bash) Diff put extra char on prompt diff -Bbua /etc/sound/events/gnobots2.soundlist /etc/sound/events/._cfg0000_gnobots2.soundlist The end of the output is weird : ---------------------- +description[uk]=

Would it not be more correct to rm /etc/csh.cshrc && touch /etc/csh.cshrc rm /etc/csh.login && touch /etc/csh.login This way, the files aren't missing, and thereby don't get automerged
Can't reproduce this.
