Package: dpkg Version: 1.14.19 Severity: normal I originally thought this was bug #411979, but that was for when within an interactive aptitude session.
For some time now, dpkg has inhibited ctrl-z when run under aptitude or apt-get (haven't yet checked whether it also inhibits by itself). If I background an apt-get run, then it will suspend waiting for terminal IO as soon as dpkg is invoked: Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done [2]+ Stopped apt-get install xbatt > fg apt-get install xbatt Selecting previously deselected package xbatt. (Reading database ... 133673 files and directories currently installed.)
