How to automate apt-get install?

[chamnap]

I need to write a shell script to automate some tasks. I face a problem while i need to run command like:

sudo apt-get update &&
sudo apt-get install -y mdadm xfsprogs

While installing this packages, it needs human to press enter, select item on the list, go next, .... How could I automate it without user interference?

Thanks

edit:oops, overlooked you already have -y, then I can't help

man apt-get


-y, --yes, --assume-yes
Automatic yes to prompts; assume "yes" as answer to all prompts and run
non-interactively. If an undesirable situation, such as changing a held package, trying
to install a unauthenticated package or removing an essential package occurs then
apt-get will abort. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Assume-Yes.

Try with --force-yes

I guess you could do it somehow using debconf but never dit that myself.

Try with --force-yes
