Hi,

Hi! When a package is upgraded and a configuration file changes as a
result, dpkg usually asks the user whether the new conf file should be
installed if it has local changes. Is it possible to make it ask this
question even when dpkg is just reinstalling the same version? I know
its possible to unpack the .deb file and replace/diff manually but
would like to know if this is possible...
,----[ Manual page dpkg(1) ]
| confdef: If a conffile has been modified always choose
| the default action. If there is no default action it will
| stop to ask the user unless --force-confnew or
| --force-confold is also been given, in which case it will
| use that to decide the final action.
