Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: unattended-upgrades

Ubuntu Version: 8.04.2 LTS
unattended-upgrades: 0.30ubuntu1
related packages: ntp and snmpd

Small problem description: when using unattended-upgrades, the log file
reports that some packages could not be upgraded automatically due to
configuration file prompt, while manual upgrades don't mention them.

/var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log:
2009-03-02 04:15:14,422 WARNING pkg 'ntp' has conffile prompt and needs to be 
upgraded manually
2009-03-02 04:15:14,472 WARNING pkg 'snmpd' has conffile prompt and needs to be 
upgraded manually
2009-03-02 04:15:14,844 INFO package 'snmpd' not upgraded
2009-03-02 04:15:15,200 INFO package 'ntp' not upgraded

Ok, that message is understandable. However, when performing a manual
upgrade, no mentioning of a (changed) configuration file at all..

Any reason why this happens?
