Slightly more information. From reading man dpkg, does anyone thing that
the following would be useful? I don't really know what it means by "shell
escape," but does that mean when it pops up the reboot screen for kernels?
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DPKG_NO_TSTP
Define this to something if you prefer dpkg starting a new
shell rather than suspend‐
ing itself, while doing a shell escape.

All,
I am wondering if anyone can tell me if there's an easy way, when using
`apt-get upgrade`, to get around the pop-up configuration screens that occur
with some updates. One example of this is with a kernel update. It appears
that the kernel update wants to inform you that you should reboot soon, and
unfortunately the colorful blue and red screen cannot be circumvented with
the usual ways. I tried this:
> apt-get -y update
> apt-get -y upgrade -or- apt-get -y --force-yes upgrade
Neither of these work. It seems like I might be able to get around this
screen by manipulating either some apt-get configuration, or some dpkg
configurations, but I'm completely unaware of where this information may be
held.
Thanks for any help!
