Public bug reported:
During an upgrade of Ubuntu, a person has to answer many times the question,
"Would you like to replace the config file <X>" or "Would you like to restart
<Y>", during which time a user has to sit in front of the computer the entire
time clicking "Yes" or "No". I myself started the upgrade and came back the
next morning, expecting it to be finished. Instead, the upgrade program had
been hanging at about 1/3rd for hours, waiting for input.
Ubuntu upgrades and installations need the ability to ask all configuration
questions up front, during the time that the packages are downloading. That
way, users can spend some of their long download or install time doing
something useful, and when finished, they can simply walk away from it and come
back ready to reboot. Certainly there must be some base packages that are
always installed regardless of installation preferences. Asking for
information saves time and makes for a better user experience.
