I have an update script for my system that updates from deb files:
find /packages/apt/ -type f -name "*.deb" -exec dpkg --force-depends -i {} \+
The problem is that nginx has a configuration file that was changed - so it prompts:
Configuration file '/etc/logrotate.d/nginx'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
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.
*** nginx (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N]
And (I think, didn't prove it definitely) that it eventually times out and fails
I see in the stdout:
Setting up nginx (1.10.2-1~trusty) ...
Configuration file '/etc/logrotate.d/nginx'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.

*** nginx (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? dpkg: error processing package nginx (--install):
EOF on stdin at conffile prompt
How can I do something that is compared to:
apt-get install -y --force-yes? (didn't find any in the docs)
