I've tried etc-update and dispatch-conf and I can't figure out either
one of them when it comes to merging. I'd like a GUI tool where I can
click the one I want to keep with my rodent and then save. Like you, I
get confused trying to select things and then have no idea if I'm about
to royally screw something up. I end up doing a ctrl c, restarting
update tool and zapping the new file and praying that didn't break
anything either.
I have the default settings so there may be a better way but I just
don't know what. I sometimes wish there was a video showing different
methods of managing config files and me picking what makes sense to me.
I might add, a good while back I started doing updates in a chroot and
then using -k on my main system. Since then, I don't see config updates
hardly at all. I wonder if building in a chroot affects that.
