Does pressing 'y' then fix your problem? Looks like you are inside
the apt-listbugs/apt-listchanges prompt. If that does not help try
running:

APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=none APT_LISTBUGS_FRONTEND=none apt-get -y install ...

instead. If that fixes your problem and you don't need apt-listbugs
and/or apt-listchanges just remove those packages.
