Bug Description

I ran "apt update" and see there were packages that needed update, I wanted to see wihch ones, so I ran "apt upgrade", looked at the packages needing to be upgraded, realized it would take too long and I was already running behind so I said NO to the prompt to continue. It then proceeded to complete the updates as if I had said yes. See attached screen shot.

This sounds unfortunate. I'm not sure what went wrong there, but I can't reproduce it. Are you sure you did not press enter first or something?

I'll try it again when more updates are available. It's not a problem for me, I was just surprised when it happened. I've had very few issues with Ubuntu, and thought this might be something not many people have tried before. I usually use the --y switch anyway.

I just found an update for Chrome, told it "n" and it stopped. Tried it several times. Looks like it was a fluke, or I somehow did something wrong.

Thank you for looking into this. I am never going back to Micro$haft! :D
