Hi jwvdleest, the update is a normal package update - nothing super-special. But from your logs I see an issue on your system.
On 2018-05-17 07:00:08 there was a full "apt-get dist-upgrade -y". This is what - among other updates - pulled in the newer open-vm-tools. But this not only asked you for modifications of conffiles which are: a) meant to be auto-generated b) if changed it will ask you on updates if you want/need to keep your content To be sure I tried a base Xenial install with these files unchanged - it upgrades without asking me to the new version of open-vm-tools. Your system lists these files as modified on: 2017-03-10T09:27 Maybe that helps to find what/why they were changed in the first place. With those files modified DPDK has no choice (unless you force it with e.g. --force-confnew see man dpkg) but to ask you about how to handle it. Even worse, if this would not have stopped there you'd still have a failed update. Your system lists also plenty of files deleted modified.conffile..etc.vmware-tools.vgauth.conf: [deleted] modified.conffile..etc.vmware-tools.vgauth.schemas.XMLSchema-hasFacetAndProperty.xsd: [deleted] modified.conffile..etc.vmware-tools.vgauth.schemas.XMLSchema-instance.xsd: [deleted] modified.conffile..etc.vmware-tools.vgauth.schemas.XMLSchema.dtd: [deleted] modified.conffile..etc.vmware-tools.vgauth.schemas.XMLSchema.xsd: [deleted] modified.conffile..etc.vmware-tools.vgauth.schemas.catalog.xml: [deleted] modified.conffile..etc.vmware-tools.vgauth.schemas.datatypes.dtd: [deleted] modified.conffile..etc.vmware-tools.vgauth.schemas.saml-schema-assertion-2.0.xsd: [deleted] modified.conffile..etc.vmware-tools.vgauth.schemas.xenc-schema.xsd: [deleted] modified.conffile..etc.vmware-tools.vgauth.schemas.xml.xsd: [deleted] modified.conffile..etc.vmware-tools.vgauth.schemas.xmldsig-core-schema.xsd: [deleted] This would have broken a restart of the associated services which has to happen on an upgrade. So chances are high this would have hit you right after. If you don't want open-vm-tools you can just remove it fully through "apt remove --purge". If you need it then I'd ask you to configure it so that it can work, only then it can properly upgrade. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1771750 Title: package open-vm-tools 2:10.2.0-3~ubuntu0.16.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: bestandseinde op stdin bij de prompt i.v.m. configuratiebestand To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1771750/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
