Package: apt Version: 0.7.21 Severity: normal Hi,
Recently my automatic schroot update cronjob started to contain progress messages. As --quiet is documented explicitly not to do this, I consider this a bug. For example, after entering my sid build chroot, the command # apt-get --quiet --yes install mc >mc.log produces the attached output. See the "Reading database" strings between fetching packages and unpacking them. -- Thanks, Feri.
