I have repeatedly installed and removed the package, both via apt-get and directly with dpkg.
The files are present in the package, as can be seen with:
dpkg -c
dpkg -c xpra-0.15.8-1_amd64.deb | grep /etc/xpra/
dpkg -L
:
dpkg -L xpra
Both commands will list:
/etc/xpra /etc/xpra/xorg.conf /etc/xpra/xpra.conf
Watching /etc/xpra
during the install, I can see briefly some temporary files getting created there: xpra.conf.dpkg-new
and xorg.conf.dpkg-new
.
Recording this ticket here in case someone else sees this.
The packages are built exactly the same way, and they work fine on all the other distros and versions... Looks like more Ubuntu breakage.
I have no interest in fixing this at the moment.
Latest packages do seem to work, no idea what went on.
