Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
I used the KDE frontend to dist-upgrade.py to update to Feisty.
After the packages are downloaded, the progress kind of halt. I clicked on the 'Show Terminal' button and saw that a pager invoked by apt-listchanges was displayed. What I typed appear in the terminal window, but didn't seem to be sent to the pager. To my surprise, I discovered that the pager input was still attached to the terminal I used to start the command.
I hit q in konsole and was thus able to continue.
I then got a debconf prompt, same thing, it accepted input only from the shell terminal used to start dist-upgrade.py. Later on, though a new debconf prompt appear and this time, it didn't accept input from anywhere.
I kill the upgrade and restarted using the text frontend (because the kde frontend was now busted because of packages that were upgraded.)

Thanks for your bugreport.
I can reproduce this here and it should be fixed in my bzr tree. I subscribed riddell to ask for help with the testing. I did a successfull testrun and the dialog frontend works for me now as does the pager.
