I'm trying to run an apt-get upgrade (after first running apt-get update), but my Ubuntu 12.04 server isn't completeing the upgrade process. It asks me if I want to upgrade 6 available packages, then it says it's reading the logs, and then I believe nano opens and shows the following:

I can only exit out of that using control-c, and once I'm back where I can enter commands I can type text but nothing shows on the screen. The commands work, I just can't see anything. Once I end the SSH connection and then re-connect it shows I have those same 6 packages available.
The 6 packages it shows that are available are:
base-files 6.5ubuntu6.4
libgudev-1.0-0 1:175-0ubuntu9.2
libgudev-1.0-0:i386 1:175-0ubuntu9.2
libudev0 175-0ubuntu9.2
libudev0:i386 175-0ubuntu9.2
udev 175-0ubuntu9.2
Any ideas on why the upgrade isn't working properly?
