My debconf prompt is different and has options to retry abort skip, or
press ok.
My screen is larger, is there a scrollbar that is not visible? can you scroll
down to skip and press skip?
Alternatively, can you use debconf pressed to pressed the answer to the
quesiton as Skip:
chromium-browse
Ansible use his own module to wrap apt command, and it uses non-
interactive way, not just "-y".
Anyway i confirm that this fails under a chroot :
$ DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive chroot /target apt-get -y install
chromium-browser
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading stat
"-y" is not enough to install non-interactive under ansible.
Either specify debconf non-interactive frontened, or ask ansible to
preseed the debconf answer that you acknowledge the debconf note that
the package will provide.

You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubunt
To reproduce
apt install ansible -y
ansible localhost -m apt -a "name=chromium-browser"
You can try it in a container. That's not exactly a chroot but...
docker run --rm -it ubuntu:latest /bin/bash
apt update && apt install ansible -y
ansible localhost -m apt -a "name=chromium-browser"

I did install with "apt install chromium-browser -y" for the demonstration.
In my specific case, i use ansible so it is non interactive.
That task fails.
- name: install browsers
apt:
state: latest
name:
- firefox
- firefox-locale-fr
- chromium-browser
- chromium
That's a debconf note. How did you invoke installation?
All package installation is interactive. If you want non-interactive
package installation one has to pass options to apt to "do not disturb
me" and accept defaults to any questions around installation or
upgrades.
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteract
