> This issue pertains to bigtop-test-framework, not bigtop-tests.
> When running the package tests, specifically upgrade tests, on debian platforms, doing "env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install ${pkg.name}" is not enough. dpkg will prompt you as to what to do about conf files that have been modified, and the tests will fail because they don't respond to the prompts.
> According to http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/09/21/debian-conffile-configuration-file-managed-by-dpkg/, you can use --force-conf* options; in particular
> --force-confold: do not modify the current configuration file, the new version is installed with a .dpkg-dist suffix. With this option alone, even configuration files that you have not modified are left untouched. You need to combine it with --force-confdef to let dpkg overwrite configuration files that you have not modified.
