Bug#379861: apt: typo in progress message?
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.44.2
Severity: normal
When running "apt-get update", I see messages like this:
99% [24 Packages rred 49152]
Is "rred" a typo of "read"? If not, please pick a more descriptive term.
I have no idea what is meant here. The apt-get man page does not
explain.
Also, what does the number to the right of the rred (49152) represent?
All of the other numbers are self-explanatory. For example, it is clear
in "2006-07-25-1313.19.pdiff [339B]" that the diff is 339 bytes. It is
also clear that in "37.3kB/s", my rate is 37.3 kilobytes per second. The
number 49152 has no units, and it doesn't help that I have no idea what
rred is supposed to be. All I know is that item #24, a package file, is
being downloaded.
In summary:
1. Fix the term "rred".
2. Add units to the number that follows it.
Thanks!
