Thanks for your report. I've updated our #7503 ticket so it now
reflects better the status quo. It's not easy to solve but we plan to
fix this next year, as part of porting Tails to Wayland.

Thanks again. I've reported this as #16685, which we'll fix at the
same time as the other problem.

Indeed, there's no way to interact with the Upgrader in a terminal :(

It's due to poor design decisions I made while developing some parts
of Tails years ago.
