Public bug reported: Binary package hint: dpkg
A dist-upgrade usually takes a long time, which is why you would probably leave the computer while executing it. The problem with this is the many required user inputs that interrupt the upgrade and sets it on hold for hours. Therefore, I propose that dpkg should, while promting for user input for one package, continue processing other packages in the background. This will enable the user to deal with all the packages requiring input at the end of the upgrade or to do it during the upgrade, at his choice. ** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: dpkg - A dist-upgrade usually takes long time, which is why you would probably - leave the computer while executing it.
