Package: apt Version: 0.7.21 Severity: normal Hi,
I believe the problem is line 785 of apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc: | tcgetattr(0, &tt); The return code is not checked here; the call will fail if stdin is not a terminal (in the case of d-i and autobuilders, it isn't), and the termios struct ends up uninitialized, so the pty for dpkg is set up randomly.
