Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.2-1
Severity: normal
# aptitude install gnome-terminal
will prompt the user as normal.
# echo gnome-terminal|xargs aptitude install
will prompt the user, but at the same time the CPU meter goes to 100%
meaning some tight loop is going on! Had to hit ^C.
# echo gnome-terminal|xargs apt-get install
just assumes the user said "n", well never mind that for now.
Too bad. I wanted to do
grep-status -F status config-files -n -s package|xargs aptitude purge
OK, working around it with
set -- $(grep-status -F status config-files -n -s package)&&
aptitude purge $@

Version: 0.3.4-1
This one was fixed years ago. Same problem as here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=318749
aptitude (0.3.4-1) experimental; urgency=low
- Abort cleanly instead of crashing when the command-line mode gets
EOF on stdin. (Closes: #318749)
