Package: how-can-i-help Version: 11 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
if I enable the dpkg progress bar, the last progress status still shows up "below" the output of how-can-i-help, like this: ====== How can you help? (doc: https://wiki.debian.org/how-can-i-help ) ====== ----- Show old opportunities as well as new ones: how-can-i-help --old -----############################################################################.] Premere Invio per continuare. In order to reproduce this behavior, enable the dpkg fancy output and then let the output of how-can-i-help show after installing or updating some packages. Dpkg fancy output (available since apt 1.0, see [1]) can be enabled with this command issued as root: # echo 'Dpkg::Progress-Fancy "1";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99progressbar Maybe clearing lines before writing them may help, I know there are ANSI escape sequences for that but I am not sure how portable they are. Or maybe this is an apt issue?
