Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1
Severity: normal
Running something like
aptitude --assume-yes do-something >aptitude.log 2>&1 &
will hang after downloading packages.
Just bringing aptitude in the foreground without providing any input
suffices for aptitude to continue.
This makes aptitude unsuitable for batch processing of installation
tasks.
Note: I do not call aptitude directly, I just run a script that uses
aptitude (or apt which can run in the background just fine but fails on
missing packages).
