Update packages (like nginx) without adding any files
0
When updating nginx for example, it creates default files in /etc/nginx/conf.d
I myself have a different file structure for nginx, so how do I prevent default files from being created when updating a package like nginx?
command-line apt package-management aptitude metapackages

I'm not sure there are any flags foraptto do this, but I'm pretty sure if you use the same structure asaptit will ask if you want to keep old config files. Also there should be some defined hierarchical call to config files ie~/.nginx/conf.dhas priority over/etc/nginx/conf.djust as all command line options have highest priority. (I will add that I've never used nginx so I'm just basing this off of other package conf structures)

apt to do this, but I'm pretty sure if you use the same structure as apt it will ask if you want to keep old config files. Also there should be some defined hierarchical call to config files ie ~/.nginx/conf.d has priority over /etc/nginx/conf.d just as all command line options have highest priority.
