Hello, in my understanding, this bug has another background.
I stumpled upon this, because I have apt-listbugs installed along with cron-apt on plain Etch. Therefore I'm referring to apt-listbugs version 0.0.69. My intention is to have automated updates along with a listing of the bugs in my mail or log file. apt-listbugs *is* respecting the -y option in apt mode. The problem is, that apt-listbugs installs etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs with this content: -->-->-- DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"if dpkg -s apt-listbugs | grep -q '^Status: .* ok installed'; then /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || ( test $? -ne 10 || exit 10; echo 'Warning: apt-listbugs exited abnormally, hit enter key to continue.' 1>&2 ; read a < /dev/tty ); fi"}; --<--<-- There seems no way to overwrite this apt option by means of apt-get -c ... or -o or something else. That is, whatever you do, any values you supply to the DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs list, are appended to the list created from the default configuration instead of replacing it (use apt-config to display). So, the only thing you can do is removing the 10apt-listbugs file, replacing it with something like DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs -y apt"}; thus changing the main apt configuration. This makes my automated update work, but now aptitude won't stop on bugs any more. Maybe related is #288763.
