Title:
  unattended upgrade failing due to incorrectly detected conffile prompt
  due to "newconffile" line

Status in “unattended-upgrades” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “unattended-upgrades” source package in Precise:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  On severa hundredl of our Ubuntu machines, we have unattended upgrades
  active.  Over the weekend, this started reporting on all machines with
  dhcpcd installed that it could not upgrade that package due to a
  conffile prompt.  This looks very similar to #773007  and #336558,
  both of which are marked as fixed.

  On one of the machines, I've run unattended-upgrades --debug, and
  attached the output below.  The MD5 sums seem to match (which is a
  relief - I didn't think I was modifying these files), so I don't know
  why the conffile prompt is being detected.  If I run apt-get safe-
  upgrade on its own, it successfully upgrades the package with no
  prompting.
