no option to accept EULA for mscorefonts-installer.

[Isaac Ullah]

Aptik works very well to restore most packages, but once in a while there are some packages that require user interaction during package installation. In my case, it was mscorefonts-installer from the non-free repos. Anyway, the package needs the use to accept a EULA, but there is no way to click "ok" from within the Aptik dialog. Thus, you need to cancel out of Aptik, which leads to more problems since the locks in var/apt/cache/archives/, var/dpkg/config/config.dat, and etc/apt/ all remain active. One has to find the PID of the process still locking these, and then kill that process before manually installing the offending package, and then getting back to it with Aptik.

Great work with Aptik so far, btw. I find it VERY useful!!

The aptik window that displays package installation progess accepts keyboard input. You can accept the EULA by pressing the TAB key on your keyboard so that YES is selected and then pressing ENTER.

Sadly, packages display custom screens for interacting with the user. This makes it impossible to provide a GUI for the user actions. Keyboard input is the only option.

I'll add a message to the window to let the user know that they can use the keyboard.
