I'm running ubuntu 16.04 on an Amazon AWS EC2 and have just run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
to update the suggested packages in the console.
During which I have been prompted with A new version of /boot/grub/menu.lst is available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified.
in the package configuration of menu.lst
We haven't made any changes so I am to assume that this is a setting by Amazon AWS EC2.
How should I proceed?
