This sounds suscpiciously like ytalk is invoking APT with SIGHCLD set
to ignore - which is very wrong, it inteferes with APT's ability to reap
child processes. 

This can be seen by stracing ytalk which exectues this call:

sigaction(SIGCHLD, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}) = 0

Thus I am going to reassign this bug to ytalk.
