[Bug 1792467] [NEW] Ubuntu upgrade interrupt. Due to very long process time for Ubuntu upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04, the software packages' questions asking in the mid-term that cause installation interrupt.

[Elaine F. Chen]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu upgrade interrupt. Due to very long process time for Ubuntu
upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04, the license agreement question and packages
questions asking in the mid-term that cause package installation
interrupt. Could you put these " installation asking question" at the
beginning of upgrade? Thus, I can click "Yes" to accept these agreement
at the beginning when upgrade process start. I believe no one have time
for just waiting a click "Yes, continue to install" in the process mid-
term and watching the whole upgrade process for several hours and do
nothing. Ubuntu should have an upgrade manager that act as an user's
agent to collect the user's answers for the all packages' asking
questions at the beginning of upgrade process. Then the upgrade manager
automatic answer the package question during the upgrade process.
Therefore, the upgrade process won't interrupt for waiting user's
answer. When upgrade process installation start, no more questions will
be asked until the upgrade complete.
