Hi all

Help!

Doing an upgrade of an old Debian system from bullseye to trixie, (all 
/etc/apt/sources.list entries are debian.org archives), and got this 
message from sshd:

*Configuring openssh-server*

*A new version (/tmp/tmp.f*cK1e2O00) of configuration file 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config is available, but the version installed currently 
has been locally modified.*

*What do you want to do about modified configuration file sshd_config? *

Yes the f*cK... filename is named what you think it is!

Is this just a maintainer's version of fun, or should I be worried?

The contents of the file don't seen out of order, but...

Steve
