Description of problem: I had configured my RHEL4 box so I could use "minicom -w ttyS1" to access the serial console of my rawhide box. After I upgraded from RHEL4 to RHEL5, minicom no longer had a ttyS1 configuration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): minicom-2.1-3 How reproducible: Haven't tried. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Configure minicom on rhel4 2.Upgrade to rhel5b2 3.attempt to use minicom. Actual results: [root@fenlason-lab2 ~]# minicom -w minicom: WARNING: configuration file not found, using defaults Device /dev/modem access failed: No such file or directory. [root@fenlason-lab2 ~]# minicom -w ttyS1 minicom: WARNING: configuration file not found, using defaults Device /dev/modem access failed: No such file or directory. Expected results: minicom should've kept its configuration. Additional info:
Hm, can't reproduce. /etc/minirc.* files aren't owned by minicom package, so update of the package couldn't remove the files. Can you reproduce it just with minicom update?
This really looks like NOTABUG as the config files aren't even managed by rpm, something else probably removed the files. Please reopen when you can reproduce.
