[Bug 884026] Re: aptitude does not return to command-line prompt

[Rolf Leggewie]

Daniel, thank you for your questions.  From a cursory look, I am not
sure that either of the two problems in launchpad is what I see.  But of
course it's hard to completely rule this out.  The debbug sounds more
similar to what I have but it's still not completely the same.

What I do is run "sudo aptitude" from the command line. Press U to
update the package list and then install the updated packages with G.
When the installation is finished I press Q to exit aptitude which goes
through some calculations from which it then never returns.  Unlike the
report in the Debian BTS, the last aptitude "tab/window" is closed, but
the program then does not return to the command line.

This is not 100% reproducible but has happened frequently enough to be
slightly annoying.
