Package: ucf
Version: 3.0027+nmu1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
During apt-get dist-upgrade, ucf prompts me if there are modified version of
config files it is trying to install. My workflow in such a situation is the
following
Choose "Open a shell to examine the situation"
# cd /directory/to/config/file
# gksudo meld file.conf file.conf.ucf-dist
merge files keeping my configs
# exit
Choose "Keep local version of the file"
ucf hangs and apt has to be killed.
If instead of immediately choosing "Keep local version of the file" I choose
another random option, like to see the diff, then I choose "Keep local version
of the file" everything works.
Thanks,
Paolo
PS: gksudo is needed since launching meld as root without it would trigger some
error message related to dbus.

I have tried to see if this still exists in the current version,
w but I have not succeeded. I am working on the presumption that he bug
got fixed somewhere since it was present, either in ucf or in
debconf. If you can reproduce this problem, please either reopen this
report or file a enw one, hopefully we will have some clues as to how
to find the underlying issue when it happens again.
