libc6.postinst has a consideration code for DEBIAN_FRONTEND = noninteractive. And if restart is failed, a message should be appeared. This error report seems it's failed in [Y/n] question. What I would like know is * Is cron-apt aware of DEBIAN_FRONTEND = noninteractive? * Can you install libc6 with your hand? * Is cron-apt timeout after the long duration in question?
