Public bug reported:
I'm testing Herd 2 when I found this bug.
I was in the terminal you can logon to from the login screen ("safe mode").
I did gksudo "apt-get update" and found new packages, then I did gksudo
"apt-get upgrade".
It found 90 MB of new packages, good of course, but then it asked me if I
wanted to continue with a J/N question.
It said J/N because I'm using Dutch Ubuntu. It didn't accept the J though, I
tried both J and j but after pressing Enter the terminal simply stopped, the
action was ended. I figured it was a bug in Dutch translation, so I switched to
English(GB), there I tried to answer Y and y, both didn't work! In the end I
used gksudo "apt-get upgrade -y" so it automatically answers yes to all, that
worked of course but it's pretty dirty. Funny thing is that in an earlier
install of Feisty (before Herd 2) I had the exact same problem, but I figured
it had something to do with a corrupt install, but now I can duplicate the bug
with a new install.
