Bug Description

Maybe due to new code in apt-get, maybe the one outputting this :

NEEDRESTART-VER: 3.5
                    NEEDRESTART-KCUR: 5.15.0-40-generic
                                                       NEEDRESTART-KEXP: 5.15.0-40-generic
                                                                                          NEEDRESTART-KSTA: 1

If a terminal is not available, maybe for read ? or maybe for write ? It just stall.

Does anyone has been able to reproduce ?
So we can get a resolution on this for 22.04.1 ?

Please build a 22.04.1 chroot, under a 22.04.1 Ubuntu.
Then use :

  sudo chroot $chroot su - root -c "\
set -o xtrace ; \
. $some_scripts_with_a_function_that_install_packages.sh ; \
FunctionThatInstallPackages $package_name; \
exit 0
"

This stall the chroot.
I have to use the "fg" command for the script to continue.

Thanks.
