The best solution I see is to edit your /etc/cron.daily/apt and set
COLUMNS and LINES environment variables manualy, but
since /usr/lib/perl5/Term/ReadKey.pm belongs to libterm-readkey-perl
package, I would check if this package is installed and if you need it.

On wheezy, this package is not needed for dnsutils. What distro are you
running?
