I have just updated a box from base-files-4.0-6 to 4.0-9 and everything worked as expected. I tried both with locally modified and unmodified skel files. $ grep base-files /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.* /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.bash_profile:# base-files version 4.0-9 /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.bashrc:# base-files version 4.0-9 /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.inputrc:# base-files version 4.0-9 /etc/defaults/etc/skel/.profile:# base-files version 4.0-9 The process of checking wether the files have to be replaced has not changed since 4.0-4 (march 2011) at least. And IIRC, it was barely the same in the 3.x version as well. If reinstalling fails as well, does an error get printed? -- Huella de clave primaria: AD8F BDC0 5A2C FD5F A179 60E7 F79B AB04 5299 EC56
