As reported in #888586 quotacheck may run into an endless loop because it fails
to honor the non-interactive flag and still asks a question while there is no
way to answer it. The proposed patch is already in Sid waiting to migrate to
testing.
I think we should update stable, too. Therefore this report. The proposed patch
is attached. Please tell me what you think.
Also, I'm undecided as to whether we should update Jessie which is almost EOL.
Any comment on that would be appreciated too.
Michael
