>Description:
The upgrade procedure (while much nicer than the threatening disclaimer
implies :) mistakenly clobbered my /etc/newsyslog.conf file in place,
rather than leaving it be and creating a new /etc/upgrade/newsyslog.conf
prototype as for the other /etc files. This is so mind-bogglingly minor
an issue that I fear divine retribution for even mentioning it, but so
be it.
>How-To-Repeat:
Upgrade from 2.2.5 to 2.2.6 (haven't ever tried upgrade before now, but
one imagines it's in the 2.2.6 upgrade procedure, period).
>Fix:
Just use the same upgrade treatment for newsyslog.conf as all the other
little files. :)
