Bug Description
1. Install Ubuntu 12.04.
2. Software Sources > "Updates" > "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" > "For any new version".
3. update-manager -d
4. "Upgrade"
What happens: A silly prompt appears, "Replace the customized configuration file '/etc/update-
When you uncheck the LTS box on the updates tab, the line in /etc/update-
prompt=normal
on upgrade the following is expected:
Prompt=normal
Marking this high as an unnecessary prompt on upgrade seems RC to me.
