Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: totem-xine
While installing totem-xine with
sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg totem-xine build-essential
debhelper fakeroot
totem-xine issues following messages:
Configuration file `/etc/sysctl.conf'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : background this process to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
The default is N which is ok, but it would be better to do changes to
sysctl.cfg if they are required in a more elegant way instead of just
trying to overwrite systctl.cfg. E.g. via an install script or so that
changes sysctl.cfg in a smart way.
If I would have chosen Y my oracle parameters in systctl.cfg would have
been deleted.
