[Bug 1361241] [NEW] maas automatic upgrade prompts for action due to change in /etc/maas/maas_local_settings.py

[Diogo Matsubara]

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Using a pristine precise image, install maas:  $ sudo apt-get install maas
2. Add cloud tools archive: $ sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:tools
3. $ sudo apt-get update
4. Dist upgrade with -y so any prompts should be assumed as yes: $ sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade

What should happen:

MAAS should be updated from 1.2+bzr1373+dfsg-0ubuntu1~12.04.5 to
1.4+bzr1693+dfsg-0ubuntu2.3~ctools0

What happens:

You get an apt prompt due to changes to /etc/maas/maas_local_settings.py

Setting up maas-region-controller (1.4+bzr1693+dfsg-0ubuntu2.3~ctools0) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/maas/maas-http.conf ...

Configuration file `/etc/maas/maas_local_settings.py'
 ==> 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.
*** maas_local_settings.py (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?

Workaround is to run: apt-get -y --option=Dpkg::Options::=--force-
confold dist-upgrade
