--- Begin Message ---Package: apt Version: 0.7.22.2 Severity: normal The default cron file /etc/cron.daily/apt contains the following lines: # Set VERBOSE mode from apt-config (or inherit from environment) VERBOSE=0 eval $(apt-config shell VERBOSE APT::Periodic::Verbose) debug_echo "verbose level $VERBOSE" if [ "$VERBOSE" -le 2 ]; then # quiet for 0,1,2 XSTDOUT=">/dev/null" XSTDERR="2>/dev/null" XAPTOPT="-qq" XUUPOPT="" else XSTDOUT="" XSTDERR="" XAPTOPT="" XUUPOPT="-d" fi if [ "$VERBOSE" -ge 3 ]; then # trace output set -x fi Notice that if the verbosity level is 2, all output to stderr and stdout is suppressed. If the verbosity level is 3, output to stderr and stdout is not suppressed, but that also turns on output tracing with set -x. I'd like a verbosity level that does not suppress stderr and stdout, but also does not turn on output tracing. That can be done by simply changing the line above if [ "$VERBOSE" -le 2 ]; then to if [ "$VERBOSE" -lt 2 ]; then The effect will be silence for level 0, debug_echo messages for level 1 and above, stderr/stdout unsuppressed for level 2 and above, and complete output tracing for level 3 and above. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "i386"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "1"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::Acquire ""; APT::Acquire::Translation "environment"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-restricted-modules.*"; APT::Periodic ""; APT::Periodic::Verbose "2"; APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "1"; APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages-Debdelta "0"; APT::Periodic::RandomSleep "0"; APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0"; APT::Default-Release "unstable"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::userstatus "status.user"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::sourceparts "sources.list.d"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Etc::preferencesparts "preferences.d"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; Dir::Log "var/log/apt"; Dir::Log::Terminal "term.log"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges --apt || test $? -ne 10"; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true"; DPkg::Tools ""; DPkg::Tools::Options ""; DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/bin/apt-listchanges ""; DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/bin/apt-listchanges::Version "2"; DPkg::Post-Invoke ""; DPkg::Post-Invoke:::: "if [ -x /usr/bin/debsums ]; then /usr/bin/debsums --generate=nocheck -sp /var/cache/apt/archives; fi"; -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free #deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian dists/stable-proposed-updates/ #deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian dists/stable-proposed-updates/ # Security updates are quick fixes that may break other things. #deb ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security stable/updates main contrib non-free deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main # Local archive, for testing installation of packages before uploading. deb file:/home/localarchive unstable/ -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2009.01.31 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-1 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 apt recommends no packages.
