[Bug 1094386] [NEW] Redirecting to /dev/null doesn't show configuration dialogs

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 dev with apt 0.9.7.6ubuntu6 and whiptail
0.52.14-11ubuntu4. If I'm installing a package and redirecting stdout to
/dev/null the configuration dialogs doesn't show up. An example package
is phpmyadmin: "sudo apt-get install --force-yes -y phpmyadmin >
/dev/null". This will prevent the package to be successfully configured.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
