Public bug reported:

Today I executed the command:

    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And this was the output:

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    Calculating upgrade... Done
    The following packages will be upgraded:
      aptdaemon aptdaemon-data python-aptdaemon python-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets
      python3-aptdaemon python3-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets python3-aptdaemon.pkcompat
      wpasupplicant
    8 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
    Need to get 1,146 kB of archives.
    After this operation, 3,072 B of additional disk space will be used.
    Do you want to continue? [Y/n] 

So I answered 'y' (without the quotes), and this was the output:

    Abort.

And it seemingly aborted instead of doing what I said, although when I
ran the command again, it installed the upgrades instead of aborting,
but I just thought that I should report this as it seemed buggy as this
is not what it is meant to do.
