[Bug 1631789] Re: package ntpdate 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.10 failed to install/upgrade: EOF on stdin at conffile prompt

Hi,
thank you for your report.

I didn't see anything that would give me a hint - adding unattended-
upgrades in case they could see something in the logs. For sure they
have more experience in how it should behave properly.

  install/upgrade: EOF on stdin at conffile prompt

Bug description:
  Looks like unattended-upgrades failed?

  I just ran the update again and it installed an altered config file.

  #> apt-get install ntpdate
  Setting up ntpdate (1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.10) ...

  Configuration file '/etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate'
   ==> Deleted (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.
