[Aptitude-devel] Bug#822560: aptitude: Pressing "q" to quit after installation leaves a black terminal

[Josh Triplett]

Package: aptitude
Followup-For: Bug #822560

I understand that aptitude needs to save some state information when
quitting.  However, why does aptitude need to re-open the full UI just
to close it, rather than printing an indication about saving state and
then quitting directly from the text output back to the shell?  aptitude
already needs to properly transition from curses mode back to text mode
when invoking dpkg.
