Public bug reported:
When upgrading a system from eoan to focal, I opened the terminal within
the release upgrader because I like to watch the progress of the package
installations. To my surprise, a debconf prompt popped up in the
terminal.
update-manager should always be running in a configuration that uses the
gnome frontend, and the release upgrader should be inheriting this
setting.
The libgtk3-perl package is installed. However, the environment passed
to dpkg shows DEBIAN_FRONTEND=dialog is set instead.
