Bug description:
[Impact]
GNOME Software doesn't provide debconf support when using aptd. This means
any package installation / upgrade that triggers a debconf prompt can fail. The
requested package might not do a prompt, but some dependency can.
[Test Case]
1. Install a .deb file that causes a debconf prompt
(https://launchpad.net/~vorlon/+archive/ubuntu/debconf-tests contains a test
package).
$ gnome-software --local-filename=noisy-fake-driver_0.6_amd64.deb
Expected result:
Package is installed after a debconf prompt is shown.
Observed result:
Package fails to install, no prompt is shown.
[Regression Potential]
The solution was to provide a pipe when using aptd to allow the debconf
prompt to be handled in the session. This could introduce new bugs and/or
security issues.
