Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

When upgrading to Ibex today from Hardy (with the command update-manager --devel-release), I noticed that in several occasions, the update manager wanted to replace one of my config files with a new file. On several of these occasions the text in the terminal display said that the default was to keep the original, however in the popup asking if I wanted to keep or replace te file, replace was the default.

Which is it, and should one or the other be selected?

Sorry I can't be more specific with which files it was, but it seemed like all of them, and I only noticed this halfway through.

I would if I knew how. That bug was when I upgraded...now that I'm upgraded, I don't know how to see such a screen again.

Sounds good to me. It's probably been fixed by now in any case.
