An update to ca-certificates was released on January 23, 2016 and I noticed
that the install was being held up. I was using Synaptic so I clicked on the
"Details" twisty to see if there were any error messages in the terminal. There
was a message informing me that certain certificates had been removed. I
recognized the colon as a prompt so I just typed q. That was sufficient and the
install finished with no errors. There was no propmpt to the user so the
install was just just waiting for acknowledgement.

This is not a bug, but a simple software installation usage
misunderstanding. Any package with a debian/NEWS will display that NEWS
information, if the apt-listchanges package is installed. (Remove
apt-listchanges, if you don't wish the installation of software to
present the user any NEWS entries.)
