(Get the code!)
From the beginning of term.log:
Use of uninitialized value $template in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $item in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $item in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $template in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $item in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $item in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $template in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $item in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $item in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $template in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $item in exists at /usr/share/
Then further in the log
debconf: Unable to initialise frontend: Gnome
debconf: (Unable to load Gtk -- is libgtk2-perl installed?)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog
Use of uninitialized value $template in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $item in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $item in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $template in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $item in exists at /usr/share/
Use of uninitialized value $item in exists at /usr/share/
As a consequent, the dialog asking to restart services on libc6 upgrade didn't show up and the question was invisible with the Dialog debconf frontend. From a user perspective the upgrade hanged.
