Why Ubuntu Server ask me to restart services?

I've installed latest Ubuntu Server on Linode. When I install some packages with apt-get, like node.js or postgres it stops and the window with question pops up.

How to disable this question window?

As it breaks my automated installation scripts. I don't understand what it asks and don't know and don't use the services listed in questions, I use only node.js and postgres to run some web server.

enter image description here

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 21.04
Release: 21.04
Codename: hirsute

Yes, you do use those services. Most folks would be quite upset if those services stopped for a few days.

Some of those services may need to be briefly stopped in order to install the packages that you want installed.

You should indeed restart all four services: Select all four, then OK.
