Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Release: 20.04
ubuntu-restricted-extras:
Installed: 67
Candidate: 67
Version table:
*** 67 500
500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/multiverse amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
In up-to-date Ubuntu 10.4, in a terminal window, under "script" to capture the
output:
$ sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras
A pretty text box comes up titled "Configuring ttf-mscorefonts-installer".
The box needs [OK] to be confirmed, but [OK] isn't highlighted and typing Enter
doesn't work.
A ps command shows that the box is displayed by whiptail(1).
Googling, I come across https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
users/2012-June/260759.html
The key to getting out of this hang is to type TAB. Then Enter will
select OK.
This is clearly some kind of bug.
Here is the whiptail command line, as shown by ps:
