Problem after upgrade to 16.04

[satimis]

Hi all,

Host - Ubuntu 16.04
VM - Ubuntu 16.04 upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04
Oracle VirtualBox

Each time running "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade"

following warning will be display

.....
Reading package lists... Done
N: Ignoring file '50unattended-upgrades.ucf-dist' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
Reading package lists... Done


Ran
⟫ diff /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades

diff: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old: No such file or directory


Shall I run;

sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-dist

to remove it?

Thanks

Regards
satimis

I would recommend keeping the file unless there is already another file to replace it. Unattended Upgrades involves security updates.

What is the output of:


ls -Alha /etc/apt/apt.conf.d

And:


cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-dist

Yeah you can remove the file. The file holds all the packages you'd update with apt-get upgrade in 14.04. 50unattended-upgrades without the extension is the new 16.04 upgrade file.
