This looks to me like a bug in yum.  It should not try to be
interactive if stdin is not coming from tty.  If it should then
assume automatically an anwer "y" in an absence of other information
(configuration or a command line) this is a good question.  I would
be inclined to answer yes to that but it can be argued that this is
not safe.

Yes, I know that there is '-y' command line option and
"assume-yes".

To bugzilla?
