I just installed 11.10 on my work laptop. I was having troubles installing Google Chrome so I finally decided to check for more updates. Since I prefer using apt-get, I ran the update then upgrade commands from terminal. During the installation of these updates, I was suddenly greeted with this message:
Configuration file `/etc/gnome/defaults.list'
==> 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.
*** defaults.list (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?
First, I have no idea how I "modified" the defaults list since it is a fresh install. That said, I don't know if I should replace or keep the current version.
Does anyone know what this is about? Is it safe to replace? What are the possible consequences for replacing this file?
