Description
- In interactive mode, the client asks whether to upgrade packages. However, the proposed version might be older than the installed one.
Upgrade Package netbase (4.28 -> 4.27)? (y/N)
I'm not sure whether we can always have a credible way to check which package is newer, so maybe the best (or at least easiest) fix is to change the text to something like "Upgrade/downgrade Package".
- With ConfigFile? entries, the client asks this question for any kind of anomaly:
Would you like to install ConfigFile: /etc/hosts? (y/N):
This question should better indicate what is going to happen if one says "y" here. It might mean installing a whole new file or changing file contents and/or permissions/ownership. (Yes, the client might have printed lines such as "ConfigFile? /etc/hosts permissions wrong: are 0640 should be 0644" but they are not necessarily adjacent to the question.) How many different question texts are needed?

- Status changed from assigned to closed
- Resolution set to fixed
All posix ownership and permissions calls are now fixed as well. Committed in [ae992d98aa69fa9fd6feb47ebc0da41800b36df3] (SVN r2753)
The first part of this is fixed. I need to think about how to do the second one more.
