Bug Description
When doing a graphical upgrade from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04beta3 using `sudo update-manager -d`, the processed seemed to hang quite early in the package installation. It appeared that glibc required user interaction (asking what services to restart after the upgrade), but that the debconf Dialog backend was used. With the terminal window folded by default, it took quite a while to realise that there was no progress.
Relevant messages:
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Gnome
debconf: (Unable to load Gtk -- is libgtk2-perl installed?)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog
libgtk2-perl 2:1.223-1build2 is installed though.
It's a little hard to reproduce this bug (I've already upgraded), or else I'd have tried to run update-manager as normal user to check if that would matter.
