Package: apt Version: 0.1.9 Hi,
I'm one of two administrators for a small Debian box. To keep each other informed, we post small notes about package installations/removals to a list; however, when one of us is doing some cleanup using dselect, the changes are far too many to memorize, and so I use the following commands: apt-get -qy dselect-upgrade >instlog 2>&1 & (sleep 1; tail -f instlog) However, nothing happens then, and when I Ctrl-C tail, I get a message stating that apt-get had been suspended because it expected tty input. Running it in the foreground with output redirected works fine without asking any questions, though.
