It's not a failure. ipmasq has about 15 conffiles. I first installed 3.3.5
then immediately upgraded to 3.4.0. Upon which I was promtped 8 times
about changed conffiles (all of them different ones, not a loop). To avoid
this in the future you can have apt.conf add --force-confdef to dpkg's
command line, and it will use the default answer to the questions for all
the conffiles in all packages (please read the man page before doing this).
Since this is not a bug, I am closing both of these bug reports.
