I cannot reproduce the behavior you are reporting.
What I see is that both 'y' and 'Y' are equivalent answers:
Are you sure you want to install/upgrade the above packages? [Y/n/?/...] Y
and
Are you sure you want to install/upgrade the above packages? [Y/n/?/...] y
lead to the same result.
And there's a reason for that: there's code that converts the answers
to lower case, whatever the user entered.
See /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/aptlistbugs/logic.rb:492
answer = a.downcase
Maybe you added some blank character, before or after the 'Y' answer?
Could this explain what you experienced?
Please let me know.
If this is the case, well, maybe I could change that line into:
answer = a.downcase.strip
I will think about this possibility...
