[Bug 176660] [NEW] im-switch: Upgrade problem from dapper to gutsy/hardy

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Daniel Holbach (dholbach):

Lars Wirzenius's piuparts run [1] reveals that im-switch has left an
obselete file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90im-switch during the dapper->gutsy
upgrade.  It would also happen during the upgrade from dapper to the
current hardy, and therefore affects LTS->LTS upgrades.

2. http://people.ubuntu.com/~liw/piuparts/ubuntu-hardy-i386-main/fail/im-switch_1.14.log

The nature of this bug is that im-switch has a list of the md5sum of old
versions of this file and removes it during upgrades only if the md5sum
match, otherwise it just prints a warning saying the file is modified
and leaves it alone (because it's a conffile).  Dapper has a very old
version 1.3, and the md5sum of that version is not stored in the
maintainer's script.

This fix is trivial, just add the md5sum of the dapper version.  Any
other supported upgrades should not be affected.  The fix can also be
dropped after hardy release.

** Affects: im-switch (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Low
         Status: Fix Released
