Bug#747942: apt: please don't wrap package list on 80 columns

[Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 1.0.3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm not sure whether that's on purpose, but I don't think limiting the
display of package lists (e.g. those to be upgraded during “apt-get
dist-upgrade”) to 80-ish columns is a nice thing to do. Could we please
avoid that? ($COLUMNS is 300+ here.)

Mraw,
KiBi.
