I'm french and it's my first bug report, so ... When you don't want to update a file called "foo.conf", you can simply press "2" when you run etc-update, and the file ".foo.conf_cfg0001" will be removed. BUT the first line which contains the header too ! So I think the script "etc-update" should update automatically the first line, if if contains header. It's minime, easy to repair, and very useful in fact. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run etc-update 2. Choose a file 3. When you want to do not update a file : - you press "2" and the update file will be removed - you press "3" and only update the first line which begin with "$Header ..."
isnt this the point of 'replace-cvs' in dispatch-conf ?
in /etc/etc-update.conf: # Whether trivial/comment changes should be automerged eu_automerge="yes"
