Bug Description
We install and upgrade our packages via scripts. We had originally install postfix (and possibly) successfully using these scripts in the past without interactive input. When upgrading postfix to 2.9.6-1~12.04.1, we're unable to install it without it hanging during the dpkg --configure step and waiting for interactive input.
We tried to upgrade with the following apt commands:
DEBIAN_
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y -q --force-yes

Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I was unable to reproduce this issue upgrading from 2.9.1-4 to 2.9.6-1~12.04.1. A simple upgrade (without overriding DEBIAN_FRONTEND, even) didn't prompt me at all.
Can you describe exactly what you are being prompted for?
Please post exact steps to reproduce this problem on a different system. Once done, please change the bug status back to New.
