That's not why you're being prompted. You're being prompted because the file stopped being shipped as part of the package a while back, but now is being shipped again. Vanishing conffiles are not deleted when a package is upgraded. Therefore, dpkg thinks you're installing a new conffile on top of some non-packaged previously-existing version which you must have created. Dpkg is wrong, of course. Dpkg has no mechanism to handle conffiles disappearing across upgrades. -- G. Branden Robinson | I've made up my mind. Don't try to Debian GNU/Linux | confuse me with the facts.
