apt-get doesn't work properly on ssh-ed pc

[Miloš Mandarić]

I ssh-ed to my server and tried to install one package. After "sudo apt-get install package" it asks "Do you want to continue?[Y/n]"
After answering "n" apt starts to download and install package.

I really don't think this is a bug in openssh... more likely in whatever ssh program you are using. However, could you post the output of apt-cache policy ssh and also tell us what ssh program you are using to connect. I can also NOT confirm this with ssh version 1:5.1p1-1ubuntu2 connecting through xterm.

could you also post the exact output you get when trying to install something, aborting it, and it continuing it? Also, what version of ubuntu are you running?

[Miloš Mandarić (mandzo18)]

I am using the same version 1:5.1p1-1ubuntu2 on Intrepid on my laptop. My server is also on Intrepid and it is on Bosnian language. I am connecting with gnome-terminal:
ssh milos@andja

milos@laptop:~$ apt-cache policy ssh
ssh:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:5.1p1-1ubuntu2
  Version table:
     1:5.1p1-1ubuntu2 0
        500 http://ba.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages

milos@laptop:~$ apt-cache policy openssh-client
openssh-client:
  Installed: 1:5.1p1-1ubuntu2
  Candidate: 1:5.1p1-1ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 1:5.1p1-1ubuntu2 0
        500 http://ba.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I don't use password for connecting with ssh. I have copied my public key to remote pc. Don't know if this have anything with this behaviour.

 Here is example when installing:

milos@andja:~$ sudo apt-get install anjuta

After changing language from Bosnian to English bug disappears.

It's probably bug in apt's Bosnian translation.
