Title:
  update-manager does not pop up a question correctly in some cases

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  This bug is difficult to reproduce if not using the same packages that
  I list below; I am using jaunty.

  Today I had an upgrade of readahead, to version
  1:0.20050517.0220-1ubuntu5. Readahead configuration files had been
  altered (not by me anyway). Then the progress bar of update manager
  hanged, and by unfolding the terminal window I saw that dpkg was
  waiting for me to confirm overwrite of the readahead configuration.

  This happens only if I also try to upgrade acroread to version
  acroread_9.1.0-7jaunty1_i386.deb from the jaunty/partner repository.
  This version conflicts with acroread-debian-files version
  0.0.29medibuntu2 from the medibuntu repository. This triggers the bug
  in update-manager.

  Here is what I can see in the terminal window of update-manager.

     Cosa decidi di fare?  Le tue opzioni sono:
      Y o I  : per installare la versione del responsabile del pacchetto
      N o O  : per mantenere la versione correntemente installata
        D    : per mostrare le differenze tra le versioni
        Z    : per sospendere questo processo ed esaminare la situazione
   L'azione di default è di mantenere la tua versione corrente.
