I was just following the instructions I was given following a package
update:
Replacing config file /etc/mantis/config_db.php with new version
*** WARNING: ucf was run from a maintainer script that uses debconf,
but
the script did not pass --debconf-ok to ucf. The maintainer
script should be fixed to not stop debconf before
calling ucf,
and pass it this parameter. For now, ucf will revert to
using
old-style, non-debconf prompting. Ugh!
Please inform the package maintainer about this problem.
If the instructions had asked me to file a bug report, I would have
filed a bug report. Since they asked me to inform the maintainer,
that's what I did.
Hope this helps.
