Hi All,

I've run into some problems using install_packages recently. apt-get -y --force-yes --fix-missing install PACKAGE1 PACKAGE2 .. PACKAGEN processess just 'stop'. I think they're waiting to read STDIN: if I run the command from the bash prompt it works. If I run nohup apt-get ... & from the bash prompt it starts and then tells me that the job has stopped. If I add </dev/null to the line in install_packages which runs apt-get install, then the packages are installed correctly.

Has anyone else seen such an effect? Should install_packages be adapted or is there a better solution?

Thanks,

Frank
