This usually happens because your input buffer fed some garbage to apt
before the 'y'. Perhaps you accidentally hit <enter> twice on the
command, or a space, or any other random key, really. It's hard to say
exactly how or why, without having been there, but it aborts when it
can't parse the input (which is a sane thing to do), so it wasn't so
much that it was doing the wrong thing based on your input, but that
your input was, for some reason, not what it was expecting.
Blame your fingers, your terminal, your ssh session, your cat that
distracted you before hitting a random control sequence on your
keyboard, it's a bit hard to tell after the fact, so closing this as
invalid.
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
