Insufficient, I need ignores, too. It aborts way too easily. With the 
option "-n" there are no questions asked, there is no chance to retry or 
ignore. It does what it has preprogrammed.

It aborted again this night, after an hour and a half:

There is no way round, I have to be there entering the appropriate letter to 
make it continue always.

There are two possibilities: a customization of all possible responses, or 
to postpone every question on which "-n" would abort till the end, till 
every other package has been installed, and then wait for manual entry, at 
the end. That way we could get a chance to do unattended updates.
