I want all packages to be upgraded upon boot, so I have a script that does "apt-get update" and "apt-get -y upgrade". However, the upgrade never completes. When I run the upgrade automatically, it becomes clear this is because debconf is asking whether macchanger should be run automatically.
Is this a bug? I expected "-y" to be safe to run unattended. Please let me know if I can provide any more info.
