The Debian package you are using require both directory to have exacly
the same content. Most important: the directory /etc/hylafax is the
master copy, so when hylafax start, it update /var/spool/hylafax/etc.

In order to fix the problem you found, stop hylafax, then manually
update /etc/hylafax with all newer files in /var/spool/hylafax/etc, then
restart hylafax. Please, try to use "cp -a" in order to copy all file
attributes (including dates).

What i did was, i comment in these lines in /etc/init.d/hylafax

# The configuration file has been changed in $dst

#echo "ERROR: $dst is newer than $src" 1>&2

#echo "Please send a bug report on the hylafax-server package" 1>&2

#exit 1

and added 

x /bin/cp -p "\"$src\"" "\"$dst\""

 

afterwards, the service started fine except that i can't receive fax but i'm not sure if what i had done caused that

Bye,
Giuseppe
