[Bug 1254696] Re: Trusty server installations hang on 'Installing GRUB boot loader'

[Colin Watson]

It looks very much as though APT::Keep-Fds has stopped working properly.
dpkg has lost its connection to the debconf passthrough file descriptors
that are supposed to be maintained this way, and everything goes south
from there.

** Package changed: debian-installer (Ubuntu) => apt (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Critical
