[Bug 1324399] Re: apt-get failing to show progress with yes command

[Brian Murray]

I believe I was referring to the fact that the SRU as whole (which
includes multiple bug reports) was not verified in a timely fashion, not
that this bug was unverified.

Title:
  apt-get failing to show progress with yes command

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Trusty:
  Triaged
Status in apt package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When running this command on Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 release:
  yes "" | apt-get -y install tftpd-hpa
  It never finishes... Only shows black screen on the terminal.
  I know it's weird to use yes "" for this command. However, just to show it does not make any sense the command can not be finished.
  This issue does not occur on Ubuntu 13.10, nor on Debian Sid.
