Bug Description

Binary package hint: msttcorefonts

When doing a dist-upgrade from feisty to gutsy today, I was waiting for the upgrade to start for a while before I decided to open the "Terminal" section of the "Distribution Upgrade" window. I found that msttcorefonts was asking a debconf question using the console, rather than GTK. update-manager didn't know it was waiting for user input, and the upgrade would have presumably hung forever until I opened the terminal and pressed return.

msttcorefonts uses debconf. I don't think msttcorefonts can influence which frontend debconf chooses (console, gtk). I therefore think this is not a bug in msttcorefonts.

Setting status back to "new", as I don't see why it was marked "incomplete". The definition of incomplete is:
# If you have to ask the reporter questions, set the bug to Incomplete
# Ask the submitter to provide any necessary information in a comment, and make sure you subscribe yourself to the bug report so you will get any updates to the bug via e-mail.
# In the event that a bug has been in the "Incomplete" state for more than 4 weeks, meaning it has not received a response to a request for more information, the bug status should be changed to "Invalid"

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 RC or later?

I didn't have msttcorefonts installed when I did the upgrade from hardy to intrepid yesterday, so I don't know if it occurs there, too.
