Scheduled Maintenance: We are aware of an issue with Google, AOL, and Yahoo services as email providers which are blocking new registrations. We are trying to fix the issue and we have several internal and external support tickets in process to resolve the issue. Please see: viewtopic.php?t=158230
And a few variations; I tried both editing and not editing the config file prior to running the package update. Nothing works, the new config file is always silently installed (without backing up the old one).
Plus you're leaving out what package is giving you the problem. The apt system is also supposed to stop and let you decide if you want to keep or overwrite a configuration file if you've changed it from the default. We see that a lot in MX if we have to change the sources.lists files for some reason installed from one of our MX default settings packages--then it stops and wants input from the user, and some new users are really scared of the terminal.

My own packaged software.

I kind of omitted the most important bit of info. It's a package I am building myself. And it seems that I have not marked the conf file with conffiles, so dpkg doesn't know it's a special file.
