Hi  
after installing security patches on ubuntu 18.04 the yml config file was revert to default like all was commented again  
on the logs I see this see this:  
Setting up linux-cloud-tools-common (4.15.0-166.174) ...  
Setting up linux-azure-5.4-cloud-tools-5.4.0-1067 (5.4.0-1067.70~18.04.1) ...  
Setting up linux-cloud-tools-5.4.0-1067-azure (5.4.0-1067.70~18.04.1) ...  
Setting up Elasticsearch (7.16.3) ...

Configuration file '/etc/Elasticsearch/Elasticsearch.yml'  
==\> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.  
==\> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.  
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:  
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version  
N or O : keep your currently-installed version  
D : show the differences between the versions  
Z : start a shell to examine the situation  
The default action is to keep your current version.  
\*\*\* Elasticsearch.yml (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? dpkg: error processing package Elasticsearch (--configure):  
end of file on stdin at conffile prompt  
Setting up linux-cloud-tools-azure (5.4.0.1067.46) ...

I noticed also bellow

Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-1055-azure  
done  
Errors were encountered while processing:  
Elasticsearch  
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
