Is there a way to disable the dynamic screen updates aptitude uses,
within cronjobs?
I end up with cron mail resembling:
^MBuilding Dependency Tree... 0%^M^MBuilding Dependency Tree... 0%^M^MBuilding
Dependency Tree... 0%^M^MBuilding Dependency Tree... 1%^M^MBuilding Dependency
Tree... 15%^M^MBuilding Dependency Tree... 47%^M^MBuilding Dependency Tree...
50%^M^MBuilding Dependency Tree... 50%^M^MBuilding Dependency Tree...
51%^M^MBuilding Dependency Tree... 53%^M^MBuilding Dependency Tree...
54%^M^MBuilding Dependency Tree... 55%^M^MBuilding Dependency Tree...
...which is a bit ugly.
Peace.

What Part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
The major problem facing [Orkut, Friendster, and ilk] is that they scarf
up personal information far more efficiently than [the FBI's] Carnivore.
