No idea, sorry. David?
It appears the only Python based hook I have installed is apt-listchanges.
I did some codesearch and found this Python issue:
https://bugs.python.org/issue11380
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=close+failed+in+file+object+destructor
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=sys.excepthook+is+missing
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=lost+sys.stderr&page=1
I wonder why such hooks are run while the UI ist still open. Can't
imagine how this should be possible.
Should I file a bug?
apt-listchanges runs with the hook: DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs
aptitude does not call this directly, however I suspect that this is
part of the code in apt downloading .deb and installing the files.
Since presumably there's nothing to download, the DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs
is called almost immediately.
When aptitude doesn't need to do anything "gg" shouldn't perform any
action, but it currently does. (On the other hand, if there's nothing
to do, you as "user" wouldn't have any reason to press "gg" either).
About hiding the output of hooks, in general I think that it's
undesirable. Maybe it should be presented inside an error message
(there are bugs open about that). But if it silently ignores the
output, one wouldn't notice when real problems arise.
Cheers.
