Bug Description

I'm sorry Canonical but I can't provide detailed information, the system tried to update automatically and I interrupted the process after which I ran "dpkg --cinfigure -a" (I think that's what I typed) into the terminal and updating process resumed. Now when I type apt-get upgrade full I get this message:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  snap-confine
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove it.
The following packages have been kept back:
  gnome-software gnome-software-common libegl1-mesa libgbm1 libgl1-mesa-dri
  libinput10 libmirclient9 libwayland-egl1-mesa libxatracker2

N: Ignoring file '20auto-upgrades.ucf-old' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
Why 28 packages aren't upgraded? I have less problems using your derivative brother "Mint", but I want to know Ubuntu as it has nice desktop (I think I'm still Unity) and as I speak I'm upgrading Ubuntu. I want to give Ubuntu the chance, but if it keeps up being so unstable then I'm sorry for dumping your work, I know that OS is not easy to make even if you have a base kernel (like true Linux is just a kernel and developers who are smart enough make an OS out of this kernel). So if possible please assist me :)
My email is: <email address hidden>
My phone number is: +370 654 71450
I'm looking forward to cooperate with you Canonical :)
