the behaviour is similar to mine then.

Actually I can confirm: I just start aptitude, hit "q" I get asked about 
Y or NO, I select Y, but aptitude doesn't quit... if I write random 
stuff and then do ctr-c, I see the random stuff in the console.

So we face the same issue and it is good to know that it is not a 
VirtualBox vs qemu issue and we also have a quick way to reproduce it: 
it is thus not related to the more complex actions of download and install.
