inn-2.5.2nb1        The public release of InterNet News (INN)
>Description:
When INN is upgraded, the following files are overwritten unconditionally:

${INN_PATHBIN}/filter/filter_innd.pl
${INN_PATHBIN}/filter/filter_innd.py
${INN_PATHBIN}/filter/filter_nnrpd.pl
${INN_PATHBIN}/filter/nnrpd_access.pl
${INN_PATHBIN}/filter/nnrpd_access.py
${INN_PATHBIN}/filter/nnrpd_auth.pl
${INN_PATHBIN}/filter/nnrpd_auth.py
${INN_PATHBIN}/filter/nnrpd_dynamic.py
${INN_PATHBIN}/filter/startup_innd.pl

These are configuration files, which are meant to be edited or replaced
by the administrator, so they should be preserved if they have been modified.

Workaround: Copy the files elsewhere and change 'pathfilter' in inn.conf.

>How-To-Repeat:
Upgrade or reinstall INN.
>Fix:
Unknown.
