Details

Description:
Installing slim with apt-get using the "Assume Yes to all queries and do not prompt"-flag does not do what it says'.

Additional info:
Fresh netinstall debian wheezy

Steps to reproduce:
su
apt-get --help
#note: -y Assume Yes to all queries and do not prompt
apt-get -y install slim
#user gets prompted to choose, has to type cursor down and enter.

This breaks the install off slim for any script where no user interface is wanted. Example, I am trying to make a script to install a wheezy without gdm, with xcfe4, chromium, flash, java, AND slim all at once together with games and a lot more: I DONT want any interface, thats why I am scripting it!


This is only a low priority, since any admin running the script could press 'down, enter' every-time(!) the script runs.

Make the install commandline compatible, if possible.
Or default it to 'slim' and set a timer on it.
This task depends upon

I'm confused. You do realize this the Arch Linux's bug tracker not Debian's right?
