By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description mgb-trinity 2014-12-10 05:01:33 CST 
/etc/trinity/tdm/tdmrc has changed from a script-generated file to a config file.

The default behavior in this situation is to keep the old file but it would be better to have the new file if it hasn't been changed by the user.

Handling this in the package upgrade might be tricky but I would suggest that the release notes contain a recommendation to accept the new version.

Added note on wiki Tips And Tricks section.
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Tips_And_Tricks#Upgrading_from_an_old_version_.28pre_Dec.2F2014.29

Given that the report was filed 4 years ago and that TDE has had several maintenance releases in between, I believe this should be enough for most users.

Mike, feel free to reopen the bug if you think the explanation in the wiki is not enough at this stage.

That seems like a reasonable solution.  Thanks.
