Therefore, if you are running any sort of compliance tests, you should do it on newly installed systems only. +Q. My system (when I do "dpkg -s base-files") shows /etc/profile as +an "obsolete conffile". Is this ok? + +A. Yes. The file was handled by base-files as a conffile in the dpkg sense +in the past, so dpkg may consider the file as an obsolete conffile. +There is currently not a way to tell dpkg to unregister it as a conffile +without removing it, so the best approach for now is to do nothing about it.
