BTW, forgot to mention if the command is run as: yes "" | apt-get -y install tftpd-hpa >/dev/null It finishes successfully.
** Description changed: When running this command on Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 release: yes "" | apt-get -y install tftpd-hpa It never finishes... Only shows black screen on the terminal. - I know it's weird to use yes "" for this command. However, just to show it does make any sense the command can not be finished. + I know it's weird to use yes "" for this command.
