I saw the same the other day when upgrading Webmin and then yesterday
it popped up while upgrading some other packages. I then went into
Webmin Configuration from the UI and selected 'Upgrade Webmin' and
'Even if the new version is the same or older'. This time there was no
warning such as below though I will see if it happens again during
another package update.


Configuration file '/etc/init.d/webmin'
 ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** webmin (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? dpkg: error processing package
webmin (--configure):
 end of file on stdin at conffile prompt
Errors were encountered while processing:
 webmin
