I was trying to look at the differences between the two files that unattended upgrades was asking me about. And while resizing the windows, I accidentally hit to keep the old file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist. Now I get this message whenever I install a software package :

N: Ignoring file '20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/'

Just open a terminal and execute : sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist
The command removes the unneeded file and the informational message will not appear any longer when you are running sudo apt update or when you install new software packages.

it's sudo apt-get update, not sudo apt update ! – arximughal Nov 28 '16 at 14:03

@arximughal : As of the Ubuntu 16.10 release the apt command is the default command ... apt-get was the default command until Ubuntu 16.04 ! :) – cl-netbox Nov 28 '16 at 14:05
    
I surely didn't knew about that. Thanks for the comment back @cl-netbox – arximughal Nov 28 '16 at 14:21
