Bug#34944: apt-get should not print progress on non-tty



Package: apt
Version: 0.3.2

When standard output is not a tty, apt-get should avoid printing the
progress status ("Reading Package Lists" and "Building Dependency Tree").
It looks ugly when used with less, for example in

  apt-get -s dist-upgrade 2>&1 | less
