[Pbuilder-maint] Bug#401863: "EOF on stdin at conffile prompt" when upgrading to etch

[Max Kellermann]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.161
Tags: patch

I am trying to create a base.tgz with "pbuilder create".  The
cdebootstrap installs a sarge base system, and then upgrades part of
the system to backports from OTHERMIRROR.  DEBIAN_FRONTEND is set to
noninteractive.  It dies when it tries to upgrade dpkg from 1.10.28 to
1.13.24:

Configuration file `/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg'
 ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
 ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : background this process to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** dpkg.cfg (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? dpkg: error processing dpkg
 (--configure):
 EOF on stdin at conffile prompt
Errors were encountered while processing:
 dpkg
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
 -> Aborting with an error
