Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.27
Severity: normal
When attempting to resolve issues with a new config file in a package
upgrade, the dialog (whiptail) frontend for some reason cannot start a
subshell to examine the situation. The screen flashses and instantly
returns to the menu of choices.
After mucking about a bunch, I managed to find that it was printing an error
message: "No terminal, and no DISPLAY set, can't fork shell." Of course,
there was no pause to let anyone read that message, so it was effectively
invisible.
This is happening to me on every config file that gets the "do you want to
use the new package maintainer's version" set of questions.
This is happening running from apt, within screen, if that matters.

* [cdeb86b]: Sleep for 3 seconds after emitting warning
When there is no tty present (which means we cannot attach to the
keyboard), and there is no DISPLAY set, which means we cannopt fire
off another window, we cannot fork off a shell. This is not a bug,
really, but merely a reality. This patch sleeps for a couple of
seconds so that the error message we dump on STDERR can be read.
Bug fix: "ucf can't start subshell", thanks to Matthew Gabeler-Lee
(Closes: #543367).
