fabfile.py no longer works on Ubuntu 20.04 targets

During the apt-get upgrade step on fabfile.py line 70:

Configuring openssh-server
--------------------------

A new version (/tmp/filexrJuHV) of configuration file /etc/ssh/sshd_config is
available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified.

  1. install the package maintainer's version
  2. keep the local version currently installed
  3. show the differences between the versions
  4. show a side-by-side difference between the versions
  5. show a 3-way difference between available versions
  6. do a 3-way merge between available versions
  7. start a new shell to examine the situation

What do you want to do about modified configuration file sshd_config? 1

Not responding from then on

@paulanunda hi, can you assign me to this?

I tried various suggestions from https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/22820/how-to-make-apt-get-accept-new-config-files-in-an-unattended-install-of-debian-f with no luck.

workaround: ssh in manually, apt-get update && apt-get upgrade before running fab

fixed in #132
