I found that the installation of the package debian-goodies always prompts the popularity contest configuration, and that way, I can't install debian-goodies in a script. I also tried: echo "" | apt install debian-goodies -y And: yes | apt install debian-goodies -y I tried both apt and apt-get. How can I install debian-goodies in a script without manual user interaction? Sincerely, Gökhan Bag
