Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

During update process the Ultra VNC loses configuration and the service is uninstalled.

Steps to reproduce

My script before update stops the ultra vnc service, if there is update available, then it updates the program
After the upgrade, the UltraVNC has default configuration and the service is not installed in the system.

Actual behavior

After update of the package, the program loses configuration and service is not installed.

Expected behavior

The user configuration should be kept intact after update process, also if the VNC service was previously present in system, it should be also present after the update.

Description:
UltraVNC is an open source application that uses the VNC protocol to control another computer remotely over a network connection.
UltraVNC allows the use of a remote computer as if the user were in front of it.
This is achieved by sending mouse movements and key-presses to the remote computer, and replicating the remote computer's display (subject to differences in resolution) locally in real time.
UltraVNC bears a strong resemblance to RealVNC Free Edition.
However, in addition to remote control it adds various features, such as an encryption plugin to secure the client/server connection.
It also supports file transfers, chat functionality and various authentication methods.
The two computers must be able to communicate across a network, such as a local subnet, internal network, or the Internet.
