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.

At this point it hangs, and (obviously) you cannot provide input.
On Ubuntu 10.04 (aptitude 0.4.11.11-1ubuntu10) the behaviour was even
stranger -- it showed the changelog for the "check" package in my
$PAGER (w3m)!
