Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt-utils
If a file in /etc/modprobe.d has been modified by the user, he/she will be
asked if it should be replaced and, depending on the answer, content will
be saved in a dpkg-old file in the same directory.
This doesn't make sense there since both the new file and the saved content
will get used; renaming to <filename>.dpkg-old doesn't deactivate anything
since all
files there are considered valid.
Happened to me with alsa-base; will probably apply to other packages too, so
I'm filing a general bug against apt-utils for now (not sure, however).
** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
