Bug Description
Binary package hint: php5
Activity:
Failed on NCurses dialog to replace/keep/diff previous version of php.ini...
Circumstances:
SSH'd into server, via PuTTY.
Running upgrade from a command line inside a "screen"'d shell.
Opinion: (skippable)
Easiest fix is probably to remove the NCurses dialog in favor of the raw text prompt... If needed... This will probably affect a very very small percentage of the Linux community... and if you can't work around an ncurses glitch you probably shouldn't be upgrading your distro via SSH.

You just need to do:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow debconf
It's not a bug in PHP5 package (it uses standard debconf interface), so I am reassigning to debconf (where it could be probably closed as workaround for broken terminals exists).
