Bug#201084: apt-get to use multiple lines when downloading from more than one source?

[<ribnitz@linuxbourg.ch>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

apt-get will download from several sources at once (if configured that
way and packages from several sources are needed). The problem here is
mainly an estetic one:

1  somepackage         	[size]
2  someotherpkg    	[size]
3  athirdpackage   	[size]
4  andaforthpackage	[size]

55%  [1 somepackage 1024k/10M 10%] [2 someotherpackage  7533/25M ...] [3 at

so once apt runs out of space on the first line, the rest is truncated,
and not shown.

This could be resolved eg. like this:

55%   time elapsed: 2h 45min  remaining 1h 33min  55M/110M 
[1  somepackage 1024k/10M 10% 1min 33 rem    2500b/s]
[2  someotherpackage 7533/25m ..% 35min rem   3799kb/s]
..

hopefully itr will get fixed someday

Robert
