Hi,
When SSHing to my server, I've received the following message:
1 updates could not be installed automatically. For more details,
see /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log
The relevant log entries are:

When attempting to upgrade dnsmasq manually, I encounter a configuration file
prompt:
Preparing to unpack .../dnsmasq_2.90-4~deb12u1_all.deb ...
Unpacking dnsmasq (2.90-4~deb12u1) over (2.89-1) ...

==> 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.
*** dnsmasq.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? D
This behavior is unexpected because the dnsmasq.conf change caused the
package cannot be upgraded automatically. So I've raised the severity to
serious.
Thanks for your contribution!
Best regards,
Tianyu Chen
