Hello,
you can read about this here
and how to remove the file if you wish.

[f23948]

thank you but there's no file to remove

___@___-HP-Compaq-dc7800-Small-Form-Factor:~$ sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-dist
[sudo] password for ___:
rm: cannot remove '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-dist': No such file or directory
___@___-HP-Compaq-dc7800-Small-Form-Factor:~$

Change the name of the file to remove to the one you are receiving in results eg -

Code:

20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist

it is the file the Notice is about.

Not

Code:

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

I should have wrote this in the previous post for clarity.


From your initial question -

"N: Ignoring file '20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension"

N: , mean Notice (action not required)

20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist - is the name of the file the notice is about

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ - is the directory the above file is located.
