Agreed.

Instead of looping indefinetely, it should probably abort after a few hundred iterations. Additionally, it should not try reading input from a standard input which immediately returns EOF: $ < /dev/null sudo aptitude dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done The following packages will be upgraded: libtext-charwidth-perl libtext-iconv-perl libtext-wrapi18n-perl module-init-tools 4 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 109kB of archives. After unpacking 4096B will be freed. Do you want to continue?
