[Bug 1045579] Re: software-properties-gtk makes a change resulting in a conf file prompt on upgrade that's unnecessary

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

** Description changed:

+ 1. Install Ubuntu 12.04.
+ 2. Software Sources > "Updates" > "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" > "For any new version".
+ 3. update-manager -d
+ 4. "Upgrade"
+ 
+ What happens: A silly prompt appears, "Replace the customized
+ configuration file '/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades'?"
+ 
  When you uncheck the LTS box on the updates tab, the line in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades looks like:
  prompt=normal
  on upgrade the following is expected:
  Prompt=normal
- 
  
  Marking this high as an unnecessary prompt on upgrade seems RC to me.
