Bug#103213: apt: wishlist: package replacement info
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: wishlist
this is definitely wishlist, so ignore it if you like... but... :)
it would be ultra-cool if apt-get, while downloading, could print out the package you have installed that is being upgraded - version strings, etc. i like the fact that dpkg prints it when you're installing, and getting that same info from apt-get as i do a dist-upgrade or an upgrade could be pretty handy.
thanks so much, maintainer!
