Bug#318786: apt-get install should display a progress indicator when setting up
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.28.6
Severity: wishlist
apt-get displays progress bars when its downloading files.
However, when it is exctacting and configuring the .debs,
there is no indication of how long this is likely to take.
Replacing the
Setting up apt
line with
Setting up apt (3/20, 14% complete)
will give the user some indication of how long it is going
to take.
Considing the initial install requires around 4000 packages,
and the package install/configure is the major (time-wise)
part of a DVD install, I think this is useful.
TIA,
Colin S. Miller
