Sorry, I forgot to say it.
I did both tests. Actually, I removed the file after seeing that it
was not replaced.
Of course asking is still the default for apt-get! But you said you
were using aptitude.
I said in a previous post:
using "apt-get --reinstall install apt" gives the same result.
It'a why I said that asking WAS the default, but is no more.
To be sure, I tried it once more:
1/ after moving apt.conf elsewhere, and modifying /etc/cron.daily/apt,
I do
apt-get --reinstall install apt
I get no question from apt-get, and my cron file is not replaced
2/ I restore apt.conf (with --force-confask), and again
apt-get --reinstall install apt
this time, it asks me what I want to do.
