Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 2.11+nmu1
Severity: important
I have apt-listbugs hooked into apt here, and running:
unattended-upgrade -v --dry-run
Results in an infinite loop. It's hard to tell where exactly it's
happening because I can't actually catch the beginning in my
scrollback, but it looks like this:
Are you sure you want to install/upgrade the above packages? [Y/n/?/...]
y - continue the APT installation.
n - stop the APT installation.
<num> - query the specified bug number
(uses querybts as user anarcat).
#<num> - same as <num>.
b<id> - same as <num>, but query the bug identified by <id>.
r - redisplay bug lists.
c - compose bug lists in HTML.
w - display bug lists in HTML
(uses sensible-browser as user anarcat).
d <num>.. - dodge bugs <num> by pinning affected packages
(restart APT session to enable).
d b<id>.. - dodge bugs identified by <id> by pinning affected packages
(restart APT session to enable).
p <pkg>.. - pin packages <pkg>
(restart APT session to enable).
p - pin all the above packages
(restart APT session to enable).
i <num> - mark bug number <num> as ignored.
i b<id> - mark the bug identified by <id> as ignored.
i - mark all the above bugs as ignored.
u - undo all the dodge/pin/ignore operations done so far.

It looks like there's this weird interaction between
unattended-upgrade and listbugs that keeps feeding listbugs's stdin
with invalid input instead of just closing the pipe or something.
Interestingly, if I try to log the output, apt-listbugs fails in some
other way:
$ sudo unattended-upgrade -v --dry-run 2>&1 | tee uu.log
