Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.4-1.2
Severity: minor
Aptitude is an awesome tool, but one thing that annoys me is a bunch of
progress messages that can't be eliminated even at the highest 'quiet'
setting:
/--------
| # aptitude -q9 update
| Reading package lists...
| Building dependency tree...
| Reading state information...
| Reading extended state information...
| Initializing package states...
| Writing extended state information...
| Deleting obsolete downloaded files
\--------
I have cron jobs that run aptitude several times (in different chroots,
for diskless clients), and all the clutter gets in the way of easily
seeing which packages are to be upgraded.
In case it's relevant, my scripts look something like
/--------
| for d in $clients
| do
| chroot $d aptitute -q2 update
| chroot $d aptitute -q2 -d -y full-upgrade
| done
\--------
so that the downloading is done at night when bandwidth is cheap, but
the email from cron alerts me when I have stuff to install.
