Title:
  apt tries to use whiptail, which won't show

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If I install or update virtualbox-dkms, dpkg needs to ask me to
  configure Secure Boot. This works fine using apt-get (or a GUI), but
  not apt. When installing via apt, whiptail(1) doesn't show, and the
  installation/upgrade process gets stuck, forcing me to kill dpkg then
  run "dpkg --configure -a", then reinstall virtualbox-dkms using apt-
  get.

  Example process tree snippet attached.
