Control: tags -1 + pending
Hi Trent,
2011-04-04 08:54 Trent W. Buck:
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-3.2
Severity: minor
Instead of -sy, I tried -s <&-, which instructs the shell to close
stdin after forking and before execing. The behaviour was
undesirable:
$ aptitude -s install <&- vim
The following NEW packages will be installed:
vim vim-common{a} vim-runtime{a}
0 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 30 not upgraded.
Need to get 7,425 kB of archives. After unpacking 28.6 MB will be used.

At this point it hangs, and (obviously) you cannot provide input.
I could not reproduce this, however I added code to handle this
situation and others (catch exceptions when stdin is not available and
prompting for input). So marking the bug as +pending.
Thanks for the report.
Cheers.
