Steps to reproduce:
1) be sure to have a Kubuntu Gutsy system, on which the 2.6.22-13 kernel update 
is not yet installed
2) before updating, edit the file /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common 
and add some module to the blacklist. For example: change `Blacklist=""` to 
`Blacklist="nv nvidia_new"` (this is common for people who manually install the 
nvidia-driver)
3) use `kdese adept_updater` (or the tray applet) to get the updates. Adept 
will crash as shown in the screenshot below.
4) open Konsole, become root and enter `aptitude upgrade`; you will get a 
message, informing you that dpkg is broken
5) enter `dpkg --configure -a` to fix the problem. Dpkg will inform you that 
the package maintainer has released a new version of the file 
`/etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common`. You will be asked whether you 
want to replace the old file with the new one, keep the old one or view the 
differences. Choose to install the new file.

adept crashes because it can't ask to keep a configuration file or to use a 
newer version
