Description

If rudder-agent cron file is modified, a question is asked during upgrade

rudder-agent is a fully autonomous package.
We manage the cron by ourself and never expect the user to change it.
If it is a conffile, then each modification, made by rudder-upgrade or by the user will lead to a question on upgrade that is not understandable by the user and that should not even be asked.

So this file should not be a conffile.

This should fixed in oldest version

Well, I see rudder-agent cron file as a configuration file nowhere, on no branch.

It is always defined as belonging to the package, but not as a configuration file:

SPEC

%if "%{?_os}" != "aix" 
/etc/profile.d/rudder-agent.sh
/etc/init.d/rudder-agent
/etc/default/rudder-agent
=> /etc/cron.d/rudder-agent <=
%endif

Debian conffiles:

/opt/rudder/etc/uuid.hive

So there will never be any question about file removal in debconf nor rpmnew files beeing created, the package manager will just replace them.

Is this a problem ?
