No - it will prompt interactively during installation. There are
options on apt/dpkg to avoid the prompts by always doing either (a)
install the new version or (b) leave the config file untouched.
I could see where that could become problematic during a full system
upgrade, especially if you've got a number of config files that you've
needed to modify for one reason or another....
If, as someone else replied, it at least leaves a copy of the new config
file behind with a .new extension or whatever, then I guess I can at
least go through the process manually. What fun!<grin>
It does. If you choose to retain your customised file it will save the
new version with a ".dpkg-new" extension (iirc), and if you choose to
replace your config it'll save your version with ".dpkg-old" on the end.
(I think I got those the right way around)
