Unexpected prompt during package update

Show all headers | View raw

I am upgrading a bookworm vm (vmware workstation pro guest, bookworm 
host) to "testing" (aka trixie/sid) to try it out. Both the guest and 
host have all of the latest updates.

I am using the following commands to perform the upgrade, having already 
updated sources.list:

	apt-get -y --only-upgrade --show-progress upgrade

	apt-get -y --show-progress dist-upgrade

During the dist-upgrade I am presented with the following prompt:

<snip>
Setting up fwupd (1.9.26-2) ...

Configuration file '/etc/fwupd/fwupd.conf'
  ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
  ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
    What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
     Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
     N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
       D     : show the differences between the versions
       Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
  The default action is to keep your current version.
*** fwupd.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? Y
<snip>

Is the option "-y" in the command not enough to prevent the prompt?
