[Bug 1217263] Re: conffile change prompt on upgrade

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ifupdown - 0.7.44ubuntu2

---------------
ifupdown (0.7.44ubuntu2) saucy; urgency=low

  * On upgrade from 0.7.5ubuntu4, handle the fact that our unmodified conffile
    may have a mismatch in the dpkg database and manually shuffle the file
    around on upgrade.  LP: #1217263.

  [ Chris Arges ]
  * Backport a fix from upstream mercurial
    (http://anonscm.debian.org/hg/collab-maint/ifupdown/rev/a93db3ecb8f0)
    for a race condition when updating the state file.  LP: #1160490
