Please sync conky 1.8.0-1 from Debian unstable (contrib).

I deleted by mistake the "conkyrc" file in my "/home"... maybe that's the reason why Conky crashed.

Yes, removing the configuration file and restarting will cause conky to crash. I can fix the first crash but then it will crash later on, the code is not really designed to handle this case.
I don' t think we will fix this upstream, but I'll pass this to other devs just in case.

After some more thinking I think we found a way to fix this without hopefully not breaking anything else (basically, we don' t treat the configuration file deletion as a reload event).

Please sync conky 1.8.0-1 from Debian unstable (contrib).

This is a bug-fix only release w.r.t. the current Ubuntu version, therefore no FFe is needed.
