There is a patch (michael.vogt@ubuntu.com--2005/apt--progress-reporting--0) that adds progress reporting over a fd, it should be easy to change the code so that it can display progress information to the user on stdout (if that is desired).

That seems to be coming along nicely. I half thought of adding --pkg-offset=n and --pkg-total=m options to dpkg so that it could print out the progress, but your (Michael's) method seems to be better. Feel free to merge these bugs, if you wish. Colin S. Miller
