Got this too whenever I use apt, on fresh new 16.10 installation:

N: Ignoring file '20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist' in directory
'/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension

This file seems to have been left over from I don't know which package
("dist" suggests a distribution template for the actual installed file):

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist

They're different tho':

$ cat 20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist 
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";

$ cat 20auto-upgrades
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "0";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";

Removing the -dist file stopped apt-get from complaining.
