** Description changed:
[Impact]
The config file conflict dialog in update-manager will be only one line high.
This essentially just shows the start of the diff making it hard for people to
make an informed decision.
[Test Case]
1) Install artful (so you have updates to install)
2) Modify /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=never
- 3) Run update-manager (only install the new update-manager)
- 4) Observe the config file prompt dialog being 1 line high
+ 3) Edi /var/lib/dpkg/status and set the md5sum for
/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to something else e.g. use the md5sum for
meta-release
+ 4) Run update-manager (only install the software updater group)
+ 5) Observe the config file prompt dialog being 1 line high
With the version of aptdaemon from -proposed you will see multiple
lines.
[Regression Potential]
Little - its a one line patch to to allow the dialog to expand vertically.
Original Description
--------------------
This is similar to bug 1623856 regarding the download progress window
only being one line high but the dialog affected is actually the one
that says:
title = _("Replace your changes in '%s' with a later version of "
"the configuration file?") % from_path
msg = _("If you don't know why the file is there already, it is "
"usually safe to replace it.")
I've observed this on Ubuntu 17.04 but suspect it also affects Ubuntu
16.10 as the other bug does.
