Public bug reported:
I like to do system updates under script(1) and have a collection of
bash aliases to do these things and log the script output. Otherwise
all that stuff scrolls by with no chance for me to use it later.
I just tried to update my system to 18.04, and it failed with the following
output:
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [819 B]
Get:2 Upgrade tool [1,263 kB]
Fetched 1,264 kB in 0s (0 B/s)
authenticate 'bionic.tar.gz' against 'bionic.tar.gz.gpg'
extracting 'bionic.tar.gz'
Clear screen capability required.
This seems onerous to me. What's the point of generating output if
there's no way to learn from it, refer to it, or remember it?
