I am confused. This is listed as being fixed in 1:0.156.14.2 in precise-
proposed, but then the latest upload in the queue, 1:0.156.14.6, claims
to fix it again. Is that a type-o in the changelog or did the issue
actually not get fixed in the previous upload?
If its a type-o, then the upload needs to be re-done. If it wasn't
actually fixed in the previous upload, then that should probably be
noted in the changelog.

Title:
oneiric to precise: debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome and
falls back to Dialog
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “update-manager” source package in Precise:
Fix Released
Status in “update-manager” source package in Quantal:
Fix Released
Bug description:
TEST CASE:
- there is no trivial way to reproduce this as it only happens if in the middle of the upgrade libgtk2-perl becomes unavailable
- a regression test is sufficient
Regression Potential:
- low, the worst that can happen is that the terminal gets expanded during the upgrade when this is not needed
I was doing an upgrade from Oneiric to Precise and the machine hung in
the process. There was a dialog somewhere in the background that I
didn't see:
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome
debconf: (Unable to load Gtk -- is libgtk2-perl installed?)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog
