Hello Tokio,
[sorry, this got only mailed to you personally; again to the list; strange list setting btw...]
Have you done 'bin/update' after moving the backup config.pck file into the newly installed list directory ?
"No updates are necessary." The more I think about it I get the feeling that my backup-files somehow got screwed up... Still, can no one tell me where I can at least find the subscribed addresses? That information has to be stored _somewhere_??
I think every packager should disclose their configure options so that upgrading can be done through our source distribution and the list dbs automatically updated !
Agreed. However, using an update script provided by the distribution - specifically made for that application - should do _all_ the necessary work without screwing anything up. That's how it works in about 95% of the time. Errors can always happen. Yet it is beyond my comprehension how any script performing an upgrade would delete any file without making an automatic backup of it. And this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that one should always backup before any such operation. Because sometimes the upgrade is performed by accident. Believe me, that happens...
Greetings Alex
