[Bug 1283274] Re: Bogus configuration file prompt on upgrade to trusty

[Stéphane Graber]

As I just said in the bug report I just marked as duplicate to this one,
I'm unable to reproduce this from a clean 13.10 system upgrading to
14.04.

So there's clearly some upgrade path which messes things up (since both
report contain an identical diff) but I don't have enough information to
figure out what happened there as it's not as simple as 13.10 to
14.04...

Can anyone with this bug provide more history about their systems? What
was the initial release installed on the box, what release upgrades did
you do after that, ... ?

Thanks

Title:
  Bogus configuration file prompt on upgrade to trusty

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  While upgrading from saucy to trusty, I get asked about modifications
  to a configuration file I know I haven't modified:

  | Setting up ifupdown (0.7.47.2ubuntu1) ...
  | 
  | Configuration file '/etc/init.d/networking'
  |  ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
  |  ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
  |    What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
  |     Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
  |     N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
  |       D     : show the differences between the versions
  |       Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
  |  The default action is to keep your current version.
