It most probably happens only if the configuration file was modified by hand; otherwise ucf will simply replace it with the new version without prompting. This is a side effect of using python's configparser module to write the new version of configuration file (Another drawback is that it loses comments. But in my opinion it is still better than previously, when `dpkg-reconfigure apt-listchanges' forced the prompt if the configuration file contained any setting not managed by debconf). > > If you take it back off now it will only pause once again... I can skip calling ucf when the files differ by whitespaces only (i.e. when `diff -wB' returns no output). Maybe a better way of fixing this would be to add some option to ucf that would cause it to ignore differences in whitespaces while deciding if files are different; Manoj, what do you think?
