When I go to any of the above options it dose'nt do anything?
Not sure exactly what you mean--by "doesn't do anything," you can't select an element from the list (i.e. you can't continue)? Or by selecting any option, you keymap doesn't change?
Unless you have a new keyboard, you should probably choose "Don't Touch Keymap."
Perhaps the software you are upgrading requires that the keymap is also upgraded?
Are you sure that the package that asks you this is finishing its installation correctly? When a package fails installation, the package manager will attempt to reinstall it whenever it installs ANYTHING (consequently, this will pop up until the installation is successful).
