Package: aptitude Version: 0.7.1-1 Severity: important During an upgrade from the aptitude UI, I got:
Configuration file '/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf' ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation. ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version. What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: Y or I : install the package maintainer's version N or O : keep your currently-installed version D : show the differences between the versions Z : start a shell to examine the situation The default action is to keep your current version. *** lightdm.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? I typed 'D', then in the pager, I typed Ctrl-L to refresh. But this put aptitude and its descendents in background, and I got the shell prompt. zira:~> pstree -ap 29204 bash,29204 └─aptitude,29206 ├─(dpkg,29277) ├─dpkg,30424 --status-fd 76 --configure geoclue-2.0:amd64 ... │ └─sh,30438 -c... │ └─less,30440 -Lis └─{aptitude},29491 I had to kill the processes manually, then do "dpkg --configure -a". -- Package-specific info: Terminal: xterm-debian $DISPLAY is set. which aptitude: /usr/bin/aptitude aptitude version information: aptitude 0.7.1 compiled at Sep 5 2015 23:44:20 Compiler: g++ 5.2.1 20150903 Compiled against: apt version 4.16.0 NCurses version 6.0 libsigc++ version: 2.4.1 Gtk+ support disabled.
