Bug description:
AFFECTED RELEASE:
Bionic
PACKAGE VERSION:
debconf - 1.5.66
DESCRIPTION:
When upgrading the kernel on a recent Bionic minimal image, the user
is prompted to resolve a conflict in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst.
The minimal images do not have dialog/whiptail installed, so debconf
falls back to using the readline frontend.
The user sees the prompt: "What would you like to do about menu.lst?"
but is not presented with the list of options to choose from.
If a valid option is typed in, debconf will continue processing
correctly and the list of options appears on the screen. See also
https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/8xvSn88SKG/
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Launch the minimal Bionic image with serial 20190212 http://cloud-
images.ubuntu.com/minimal/releases/bionic/release-20190212/ubuntu-18.04
-minimal-cloudimg-amd64.img
for example via multipass and run `apt-get update` and `apt-get dist-
upgrade`.
