So I read the answer to the question here. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Remove User interaction from apt-get when installing/removing things in a script

But my problem is different. When I use:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade

It runs untill certain extent but then I get this screen.

enter image description here

I want to keep the local version installed. Any idea how I can achieve this without user interaction. I am planning to run a cron job for the above command but it is failing due to above user interaction required.

Correct answer is. There is a current bug opened for this located here and it was also present is 12.02 LTS as seen here. The steps listed in the bottom of the bug report by Anders Hall do work for the 14.04 LTS 64-bit (HVM) AMI (ami-d05e75b8 in US-EAST-1):

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo rm /boot/grub/menu.lst
$ sudo update-grub-legacy-ec2 -y
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -qq --force-yes
$ sudo reboot

Upon reboot the 14.04.2 LTS was upgraded to 14.04.3 LTS and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade returned 0 new packages.
