apt-get throwing warning: "W: --force-yes is deprecated, use one of the options starting with --allow instead"
Today I see that:
sudo apt-get install -y pkg1 pkg2
is throwing this warning:
W: --force-yes is deprecated, use one of the options starting with --allow instead
One can supply arguments to apt-get
in at least three ways:
- using its specific CLI arguments, e.g.
apt-get --force-yes
; - using
-o
CLI arguments with Configuration Item, e.g.apt-get -o "APT::Get::force-yes=true"
; or - using its configuration files, e.g.:
inAPT { Get { force-yes "true"; }; };
/etc/apt/apt.conf
.
If you don't see set arguments specified in your apt-get
calls, you probably want to check /etc/apt/apt.conf
, /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*
, or any other sources of apt-get
configuration files.
Note that --force-yes
is dangerous and you may want to remove this options from your apt-get
configuration files.
