[Bug 1465814] Re: Apt did the opposite of what I told it to do when it asked me a yes or no question

 

Definitely not, I just put 'y', as I normally would. Nothing different
from the normal way I it.

** Description changed:

  Today I executed the command:
  
-     sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
+     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.
+     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.
