I don't actually like the idea of redirecting apt-get's output to /dev/null because I want to see the list of packages installed, but without these pseudographics. Do you think it's possible? Any ideas?The packages installed and the terminal output are logged in /var/log/apt/{history,term}.log respectively (which I never rotate).Which will be lost in a CI/CD environment because the VM image is ephemeral. BTW I've tried setting `sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -qqy --no-install-recommends install ...` and `sudo apt-get -qqy -o Dpkg::Use-Pty=0 ...` to no avail, the rubbish is still there.
