asks about conf file during upgrade

[Tormod Volden]

Binary package hint: r-base

During upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy, the installation is interrupted with questions about /etc/R/Renviron
However, I never touched that file myself.

Setting up r-base-core (2.5.1-1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/R/Makeconf ...
Configuration file `/etc/R/Renviron'
 ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
   What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
    Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O : keep your currently-installed version
      D : show the differences between the versions
      Z : background this process to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
