[Cialug] Fwd: Configuration file with invalid filename extension

[Kyle Hamilton]

It looks like a junk file that was left behind after an upgrade or some 
install task. Do 'ls /etc/apt/apt.conf.d' and see if there is an 
'50unattended-upgrades.ucf' file. If there is one, then I'd just move 
the '-old- file out of the directory to your home directory or something 
for safe keeping in case it is needed later. Do the same thing if there 
is not a file with that name there. If more errors occur later, you have 
the file in your home directory to move back!
