[Bug 459471] Re: [Karmic] update-manager-kde: conffile prompt/error during upgrade cause crash

[Michael Vogt]

** Description changed:

+ TEST CASE:
+ 1. use jaunty kubuntu
+ 2. modify /etc/sand.d/dll.conf by adding some comments
+ 3. run do-release-upgrade --frontend DistUpgradeViewKDE
+ 4. verify that it crashes around at around ~70% installed
+ 
+ 5. repeat step 1
+ 6. enabled jaunty-proposed
+ 7. repeat step 2,3
+ 8. verify that the upgrade finishes
+ 
+ 
  Binary package hint: update-notifier-kde
  
  Updating failed and kdesudo had a crash.
  
  I guess this has to do something with config files that need user interaction to get replaced with new versions. From  main.log:

  I don't know how the kdesudo crash is related to this, but is crashed
  and the "karmic" task was blocked so I had to kill it although update
  was not fully successful.
