Run etc-update as root. It will automatically scan the updated
configuration files and does the diffing for you. Most of your changed
config files are probably translations and such, which you can safely
update (replace original).

Note: If etc-update crashes on some config file (happened to me), just
rerun etc-update and continue with the next file. The crashed file
should work when there're no other config files left. And you can
allways manually update them.
