dpkg(1) has this to say: confnew: If a conffile has been modified and the version in the package did change, always install the new version without prompting, unless the --force-confdef is also specified, in which case the default action is preferred. I read this as --force-confdef modifies --force-confnew. However, from reading this text I cannot tell you what it actually wants to say. Chris
