Package: tasksel Version: 3.39 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
It seems that when installing packages using tasksel, if dpkg needs to ask the user what to do about a configuration file, the tasksel process freezes with no explanation. Example: debootstrap stretch /var/chroot/stretch-test http://deb.debian.org/debian/ chroot /var/chroot/stretch-test touch /etc/magic tasksel install standard => gets to the point of "Configuring libmagic1 (amd64)", and freezes. Furthermore, tasksel can't be interrupted at that point by ^C, ^Z, or ^\. It doesn't seem to respond to any terminal input at all.
