Bug#385923: apt: -q still produces some output not suitable for logging
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.45
Severity: minor
apt-get -q still produces some progress reports that aren't suitable
for logging. These are generally percentage completion indicators
which update the percentage complete in place on the screen (using
KDE's Konsole, if that matters). Some of these are produced by
subprograms that apt-get invokes, I believe (e.g., apt-listchanges).
Some of the progress messages I noticed are
Reading package fields... Done
Reading package status... Done
Retrieving bug reports... Done
