This is caused by a grave bug in the ucf package (#709567 [0]).

Bug #683877 has a workaround how to fully reinstall the package.

This is caused by line 23 of 31_aide_apt. Due to the missing
10_aide_sourceslist file the 'cat' command is called without an argument and
therefore waits for input. I fixed that in git (0c9ca6e [1]).

This is how ucf works (see the man page of ucf(1) for more details).
