E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly
I am using fish as my default shell and I believe I can work around this issue
by setting it back to a POSIX compliant shell. This issue has been reported
for needrestart [1] but it is now 'wontfix' because it seems to be related to
dpkg instead.
Shouldn't dpkg use sh explicitly to execute its scripts?
