Details

Description: When trying to install gst-libav with sudo instead of a full root login, pacman exits immediately after printing ':: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] ', without waiting for input, and the package doesn't install.

Additional info:
* package version(s) 1.12.4-1
* config and/or log files etc. Nothing useful in the log, it just shows:
[PACMAN] Running 'pacman -S gedit'


Steps to reproduce:

sudo pacman -Ss gst-libav

If I use su instead of sudo I can install the package.
This task depends upon

This is a shell config problem or input problem, not a packaging problem. Try the support channels.
