Title:
  apt-get installation prompt on ubuntu 18.04 does not work

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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 due to a possible extra new-line
  character.

  Can we ignore the new-line characters which come with prompt response
  to get user's correct opinion on Y/n?
