Re: [arch-dev-public] keep config file on system when upgrading to package without the config file

So the new package doesn't have the config file anymore and is now removing the old file (it seems it doesn't matter if the file is in the backup array or not). Any way around this so I can quickly fix this and people won't come in the grub shell upon next reboot ?

I don't think this is possible internally. One because it would leave unmarked untracked files on /, secondly because internally an upgrade is a remove+install
