problem with automatic upgrade (changed conffile)



Hi debian-user!

I have

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade

 in my crontab and the following sources for apt:

deb http://debian.archive.of.my.country/debian/ stable main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free

since release of sarge and until now that has served me well. A recent
kde-upgrade produced the following error, which is now repeated for
every cron-run. (Excuse some swedish here, but I think you recognize
most of it.

   Vad vill du göra åt det?  Dina möjligheter är:
   Y eller I: installera paketansvariges version
   N eller O: behåll din nu installerade version
      D     : visa skillnaderna mellan versionerna
      Z     : lägg denna process i bakgrunden för att undersöka situationen
 Förvald funktion är att behålla din nuvarande version.
*** kdmrc (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [förval=N] ? dpkg: fel vid hantering av kdm (--configure):
 Filslut på stdin vid konfigurationsfilsfrågan
Fel uppstod vid hantering:
 kdm
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

----- End forwarded message -----

 The error-message is something like "End of file at stdin at question
about conffile" (I can edit the crontab to run apt-get under LANG=C if
that would help diagnosing the problem).

I have changed /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc, but so what? Why does dpkg fail
here?
