Package: apt
Version: 1.0.9.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

  Sending the output of 'apt-get' to a file instead of using 'script'.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

  apt-get upgrade > /tmp/upgrade

   * What was the outcome of this action?

  The usual question did not appear on the display.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

  The question should appear as if the command were 'apt-get upgrade'.

In other words you can't redirect the questions anymore, so you would
need to invent a new way of redirecting questions for logging proposes…

If you want to log apt output, pipe it through 'tee' or whatever, but
forcing the printing of questions on the tty feels wrong, especially as
the information which should help you to decide what to answer isn't
visible to you so we would need to redirect that to… and so stdout would
be empty.

Long story short: No, we don't consider this a good idea and therefore
I am closing this bugreport as wontfix.
