I am now running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18 and know for a fact that I did not type anything wrong, I simply executed 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and this is how it went:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages will be upgraded: oracle-java8-installer 1 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade. Need to get 23.1 kB of archives. After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y Abort. Is there any way of checking why exactly it aborted or what exact input it received? Because if you are right about this, then even if it a bug in something else, there has to be a bug somewhere because I really did nothing special here and it's not even a remote session or anything... ** Also affects: ubuntu-gnome Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1465814 Title: Apt did the opposite of what I told it to do when it asked me a yes or no question Status in Ubuntu GNOME: New Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Today I executed the command: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade And this was the output: Reading package lists...

Done The following packages will be upgraded: aptdaemon aptdaemon-data python-aptdaemon python-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets python3-aptdaemon python3-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets python3-aptdaemon.pkcompat wpasupplicant 8 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade. Need to get 1,146 kB of archives. After this operation, 3,072 B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] So I answered 'y' (without the quotes), and this was the output: Abort. And it seemingly aborted instead of doing what I said, although when I ran the command again, it installed the upgrades instead of aborting, but I just thought that I should report this as it seemed buggy as this is not what it is meant to do. --- OS Information: Description: Ubuntu 15.04 Release: 15.04 Package Information (I got this information after upgrading those packages, and the error occurred before the upgrade, so the version it occurred on might have been the previous to this): apt: Installed: 1.0.9.7ubuntu4 Candidate: 1.0.9.7ubuntu4 Version table: *** 1.0.9.7ubuntu4 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1465814/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
