These prompts are from dpkg and are uneffected by the options (for
good reason).  See

[Bug 1207713] [NEW] in apt-get the options -y and --force-yes doesn't work with -f option too

[Xava Du]

Public bug reported:

I was trying to solve some unmet dependency problems, so running

apt-get -f -y --force-yes install

i still have prompts like this, waiting for my input:

Configuration file `/etc/apache2/ports.conf'
 ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
  D : show the differences between the versions
  Z : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** ports.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?
Installing new version of config file /etc/apache2/mods-available/info.conf ...
 
Configuration file `/etc/apache2/mods-available/alias.conf'
 ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
