[Bug 1793437] Re: apt installation on ubuntu 18.04 works only with 'y' and not with 'Y'.

[Shraiysh Vaishay]

I've edited the question. Thanks @juliank for the comment. It was
possibly a white space character there!

** Description changed:

- 
  OS : Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  Package version : 2.6.1-0~201808202208~ubuntu18.04.1
+ 
+ What I did : I went to the URL
+ https://launchpad.net/~rednotebook/+archive/ubuntu/stable and copied the
+ line `sudo apt-get install rednotebook` by triple clicking on any one
+ letter. This takes the new-line characters(2 in this case) with the line
+ and so when I put this command on my terminal, the first new-line
+ character works as the Enter key, but the second new line character goes
+ with 'y' or 'Y' when asked for permission. As \nY is not same as Y, it
+ aborts.
  
  `After this operation, 2,160 kB of additional disk space will be used.
  Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y
  Abort.`
  
  Expected : The setup should continue.
  
- Happened : The setup aborts.
+ Happened : The setup aborts due to a possible extra new-line character.
  
- Description : When apt installation is done using the command `sudo apt-
- get install rednotebook` (after adding the repositories), installation
- aborts for 'Y' as input on `Do you want to continue? [Y/n]`.
+ Can we ignore the new-line characters which come with prompt response to
+ get user's correct opinion on Y/n?

** Summary changed:

- apt installation on ubuntu 18.04 works only with 'y' and not with 'Y'.
+ apt-get installation prompt on ubuntu 18.04 does not work
