Description

Sometimes, we edit a configuration file before installing a package, which leads to questions asked by the package-manager, packages which remains without answer for it's tty who should answer, and it stall, and is SIGINTed after quite a long time, and thus the execution is incomplete.

One way to circumvent would be to expireafter the promise, however, it does not seems to work with the packages promises time (ref https://cfengine.com/bugtracker/view.php?id=1012 )
