[Bug 2020232] [NEW] Uppercase "Y" is not accepted when aptitude is asking a yes/no question

[Shawn Heisey]

Public bug reported:

I was updating my server with aptitude as I normally do.  It finished
and went back into the aptitude UI.  I pressed Q to quit, and it asked
if I really wanted to quit, as it normally does.

I kept pressing Y but it was ignoring the input.  It took another minute
before I realized caps lock had been enabled.  Once I turned off caps
lock, it accepted the Y key and exited.

I think it should have accepted the uppercase letter.  It accepted the
uppercase Q for quit, it should have accepted the Y as well.
