When apt-get asks for Y or N, only Y or N should cause apt-get to proceed to the next step (continue with installation or exit). If the user accidently presses Z, apt-get should not continue, but it should not abort (which is what it currently does). It should say "Do you want to continue, please press Y or N", until the user presses Y or N. That way, apt-get does what the user would logically expect it to do. And it will make apt a little bit friendly for newer users.

Please consider.

Thanks,
James

When apt-get asks "Do you want to continue? [Y/n]" pressing any key except Y or y will exit the program. If the user presses any key besides Y/y/N/n, apt should prompt again (perhaps say "i only recognize Y/y/N/n").



I don't consider this a bug; can you explain your reasoning?
