  too

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I was trying to solve some unmet dependency problems, so running

  apt-get -f -y --force-yes install

  i still have prompts like this, waiting for my input:

  Configuration file `/etc/apache2/ports.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     : start a shell to examine the situation
   The default action is to keep your current version.
  *** ports.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?
