I am executing the following command over ssh in a testing environment, as root:
ssh <remote_srv> "apt-get autoremove"
In my sshd_config I have "PermitRootLogin without-password" and I have added the id_rsa.pub of root to the authorized_keys file on the remote server.
Nevertheless I get following errors:
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (TERM is not set, so the dialog frontend is not usable.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Readline
debconf: (This frontend requires a controlling tty.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Teletype
I have looked this up in de man pages of ssh, but couldn't wrap my mind around the explanation on pseudo-terms and ttys.
Is there anybody who can explain above errors? I guess it's a missing option, but which?
Both platforms are Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
