The logs attached to your bug report show that:
- You have an /etc/update-motd.d/10-help-text.txt file on your system which
has been customized to contain Indonesian help text in a way that, if it was
done by a package, would not be policy compliant
- This customization generated a prompt on upgrade asking whether to keep your
installed version of this conffile, or take the new version of the conffile
from the package
- Either from you, or from some software component, the prompt was sent an end
of file (^D) instead of an answer.
Questions for you:
- what tool did you use to apply software updates?
- did you see this prompt about the conffile? if so, what action did you take?
- do you know why /etc/update-motd.d/10-help-text.txt is modified on your
system?
I also see from the log that this was an error that happened when you
were applying updates in June. I don't know why this apport bug report
is only being submitted now. It's understandable if you don't remember
what you did as part of an upgrade back in June; however, if at all
possible, we would like to understand exactly what happened as part of
your upgrade in order to best fix this bug.
I am able to reproduce this problem just by running apt from a
commandline and hitting ^D at a conffile prompt. This part is
definitely a dpkg bug, as dpkg should use the default option (default=N)
on EOF instead of aborting.
