I cannot reproduce this with doing a (partial) lucid->precise upgrade in a lucid live system. However, I think I see one thing which could go wrong:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/x11-common.preinst correctly does if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl "1:7.6+7ubuntu7"; then remove_conffile_lookup x11-common "/etc/init/failsafe-x.conf" fi to clean up its own old conffile, so that xdiagnose can put its own. xdiagnose also Replaces: x11-common (<< 1:7.6+7ubuntu1), but that doesn't prevent xdiagnose from being unpacked before x11-common is upgraded. So I think xdiagnose should grow a Conflicts: x11-common (<< 1:7.6+7ubuntu1) to ensure that x11-common gets upgraded before xdiagnose gets installed. This should make sure that there is no conffile prompt. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xdiagnose in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/903143 Title: lucid->precise upgrade - prompt to update unmodified conf file: /etc/init/failsafe-x.conf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdiagnose/+bug/903143/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
