Bug Description
Updating from Trusty 14.04.
Steps to reproduce:
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core python-apt
sudo sed -i -e 's/Prompt=
sudo do-release-upgrade -d -f DistUpgradeView
After while, it shows text that looks like: b'\r'b'
sed -e "s/'b'//g" upgrade.log | sed -e 's/\\r\\n/|/g' | tr '|' '\n'
And I can see that the upgrade is actually interactive:
---
Configuration file 'b"'"b'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer'b"'"b's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** upstart-xsessions (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? '

This used to work fine (precise->trusty, saucy->trusty). Is there a new frontend that replaces DistUpgradeView
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
