Dear Maintainer,

After running cache.commit() sigwinch signals don't seem to be respected.

If I resize the terminal after calling comit, and hit a debconf prompt it will be formatted weird.

additionally if you can get a prompt that allows executing a shell, such as a conf prompt,

the shell will not get sigwinch updates either.

I'm not sure if it's totally the correct fix or not, but setting the
option below seems to resolve the issue.

apt_pkg.config.set('Dpkg::Use-Pty', "0")

Thanks,
Blake
