Uppercase "Y" is not accepted when aptitude is asking a yes/no question

[Shawn Heisey]

I was updating my server with aptitude as I normally do. It finished and went back into the aptitude UI. I pressed Q to quit, and it asked if I really wanted to quit, as it normally does.

I kept pressing Y but it was ignoring the input. It took another minute before I realized caps lock had been enabled. Once I turned off caps lock, it accepted the Y key and exited.

I think it should have accepted the uppercase letter. It accepted the uppercase Q for quit, it should have accepted the Y as well.

Indeed. Happens in Debian as well.
