Package: apt
Version: 1.0.9.10
Severity: normal
apt does an excellent job of displaying download progress, packing a lot
of info into a single line in a very smart way.
But, with httpredir.debian.org in use (or perhaps due to some other change)
apt seems to do a lot of concurrent downloads. It now seems typical, during
a large upgrade, for the overall progress to not be visible, pushed so far
off the right side that even a fullscreen terminal can't display it:
72% [206 linux-image-4.0.0-2-amd64 23.1 MB/34.7 MB 67%] [272 libghc-tagstream-conduit-dev 158 kB/220 kB 72%] [270 xfce4-weather-plugin 758 kB/2,446 kB
Think it might be better to move the time estimate and whatever else
is in the overall progress to the left hand side, where the overall
percent already is, so it's always visible even with so many concurrent
downloads.
