Yes, this means etcupdate is not merging any changes to /etc. You should run 'etcupdate extract' before your next upgrade cycle. You should then review the output of 'etcupdate diff' to see if there are files in /etc that need updating. If there are files that you want to update to stock versions you can use 'etcupdate revert /path/to/file'. Otherwise, you can use the patch generated by 'etcupdate diff' either as a guide to manually update files to remove unwanted differences, or as input to patch -R. -- John Baldwin
