Title:
  package libapache2-mod-php5 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9 failed to
  install/upgrade:, Curses lost keyboard; Command line distro upgrade ->
  via Putty -> SSH -> Screen

Status in “debconf” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: php5

  Activity: 
  Failed on NCurses dialog to replace/keep/diff previous version of php.ini...

  Circumstances:
  SSH'd into server, via PuTTY.
  Running upgrade from a command line inside a "screen"'d shell.

  Opinion: (skippable)

  Easiest fix is probably to remove the NCurses dialog in favor of the
  raw text prompt...  If needed...  This will probably affect a very
  very small percentage of the Linux community...  and if you can't work
  around an ncurses glitch you probably shouldn't be upgrading your
  distro via SSH.
