Another observation here is that the "Abort." part is printed by apt itself when it gets "no" as the answer to the question. http://sources.debian.net/src/apt/1.4.4/apt-private/private-install.cc/?hl=303#L303 If you actually press 'n' followed by enter then Abort. will be on the next line and obviously the n would show. Other ways to give "invisible" no answers to the question (like your example suggested) is to simply press 'control-d' at the prompt. Here's another way to produce the output: $ sudo apt upgrade < /dev/null [...] 11 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 8,586 kB of archives. After this operation, 453 kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Abort. Possibly the problem has nothing to do with setarch, but maybe just somehow your stdin is crippled in your shell for some reason? Regards, Andreas Henriksson
