[Bug 916700] [NEW] conffile prompt on libreoffice upgrade for a file that I don't believe I touched

 

Public bug reported:

On upgrading to the latest version of libreoffice-common, I was prompted
what to do about a modified conffile.  I don't believe that I ever
modified this file.

Setting up libreoffice-common (1:3.5.0~beta2-2ubuntu3) ...

Configuration file `/etc/libreoffice/sofficerc'
 ==> 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     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** sofficerc (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?

Note that apport indicates /etc/libreoffice/soffice.sh is also a
modified file, and I don't believe I've ever touched that one either.
