hm, weird. I installed Hardy's apport on current lucid, and get the same
md5sum:
$ dpkg -s apport
Conffiles:
/etc/cron.daily/apport 5402a621f301207f7b5d4764242d9d29
/etc/default/apport 51235ce40afb375944f7649f35bfd335
Upgrading:
$ sudo LANG= apt-get dist-upgrade
The following packages will be upgraded:
apport
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[...]
Setting up apport (1.12-0ubuntu3) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/default/apport ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/cron.daily/apport ...
Apport does not have any maintainer scripts which would fiddle with the
conffiles.
I suppose what happened is that update-manager temporarily enabled
apport during the upgrade, which causes this conffile prompt. As a
workaround, we could perhaps stuff Lucid's default file into update-
manager and install that instead of merely flipping it on? (I. e. update
the comment as well).
** Summary changed:
- Prompting due to modified conffiles that were not modified by the user
+ Modifies /etc/default/apport during upgrade, causing conffile prompt
** Package changed: apport (Ubuntu) => update-manager (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Triaged
