I can confirm this problem. I've set a cron job to update the system everyday
and got this from /var/log/apt/term.log:
Setting up libpam-runtime (1.0.1-7) ...
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (TERM is not set, so the dialog frontend is not usable.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) determine how authentication,
authorization, and password changing are handled on the system, as well as
allowing configuration of additional actions to take when starting user
sessions.
Some PAM module packages provide profiles that can be used to
automatically adjust the behavior of all PAM-using applications on the system.
Please indicate which of these behaviors you wish to enable.
1. Unix authentication 2. none of the above
(Enter the items you want to select, separated by spaces.)
PAM profiles to enable:
Use of uninitialized value $_[1] in join or string at
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/DbDriver/Stack.pm line 104.
(Reading database ... 313074 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libpam0g 1.0.1-5 (using
.../libpam0g_1.0.1-7_i386.deb) ...

but ssh doesn't appear to be affected by this, still asks for a password.
