           Summary: install_config_file is unreliable
           Product: Sorcery

          Platform: x86

Sorcery version is 20060404

install_config_file seems borked. That is, it doesn't always ask before 
overwriting an existing file with a new one that's different. I suspected 
this 
already when we were working on the kdebase backup hack, and now I ran into 
it 
again with the sdl spell.

In the case of kdebase, it seemed that whether install_config_file asked 
about 
overwriting or just did it was random. So far with sdl it simply never asks 
anything.

You can attempt to reproduce this bug by casting sdl from test, selecting to 
install the config script (a new addition to the spell by yours truly), 
selecting some video and audio driver, and then casting again with different 
driver options. It uses install_config_file to install the 
files /etc/sysconfig/sdl and /etc/profile.d/sdl.sh.

Also if you have kdebase installed, modify both rc files 
in /usr/share/config/kdm/ and recast. If install_config_file works properly, 
it should ask about _both_ files being overwritten. For some reason it 
sometimes only asks about one of them.
