Description starkstromkonsument 2018-12-08 16:40:33 UTC

The update process of the haproxy addon to Version 1.8.14 (IPFire 2.21 Core Update 124 --> 125) overwrites the configuration file /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg with the default config file of the addon package. There ist no further notice about this nor any warning during the update process.

At least one user was able to reproduce this behavior (earlier this year at core update Nr. 119): https://forum.ipfire.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=20485&hilit=haproxy

Interesting that this never was an issue before, but you are right, there is no backup being created:

Interestingly there was a backup include file which listed the configuration file that should have been archived.
