["John K. Stevenson" <js@nomadz.uswest.net>]

Package: general
Version: 19991016
Severity: important


Setting up ipmasq (3.4.0) ...

Configuration file `/etc/ipmasq/rules/I50external.def'
 ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
 ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
   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     : background this process to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** I50external.def (Y/I/N/O/Z) [default=N] ?
