How do I make > sure the upgrade continues automatically? See the dpkg manual (man dpkg), specifically: confnew: If a conffile has been modified always install the new version without prompting, unless the --force-confdef is also specified, in which case the default action is preferred. confold: If a conffile has been modified always keep the old version without prompting, unless the --force-confdef is also specified, in which case the default action is preferred. confdef: If a conffile has been modified always choose the default action. If there is no default action it will stop to ask the user unless --force-confnew or --force-confold is also been given, in which case it will use that to decide the final action. It's possible to pass these options to apt, for instance apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" upgrade Hope that solves your problem. -- Sincerely, Bjorn Michelsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
