libc6.postinst has a consideration code for DEBIAN_FRONTEND =
noninteractive. And if restart is failed, a message should be
appeared. This error report seems it's failed in [Y/n] question.
What I would like know is
* Is cron-apt aware of DEBIAN_FRONTEND = noninteractive?
* Can you install libc6 with your hand?
* Is cron-apt timeout after the long duration in question?
