      Description

      I get the following warning when running a package promises on Ubuntu 16.04 (apt-get version 1.2.10).

      W: --force-yes is deprecated, use one of the options starting with --allow instead.

      From the man pages for apt-get.

             --force-yes
           Force yes; this is a dangerous option that will cause apt to continue without prompting if it is
           doing something potentially harmful. It should not be used except in very special situations.
           Using force-yes can potentially destroy your system! Configuration Item: APT::Get::force-yes. This
           is deprecated and replaced by --allow-downgrades, --allow-remove-essential,
           --allow-change-held-packages in 1.1.
