Package: apt
Version: 1.0.2
Severity: normal

Hello,

I have an automated installation script that doesn't work anymore on Sid. This 
is a snippet of code:

#!/bin/bash

apt-get -qq -y install iftop
neverexecuted

If executed by piping it to bash, the very first time (when the package is not 
installed), I get:

# cat test.sh | bash
neverexecuted
Selecting previously unselected package iftop.
(Reading database ... 69655 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../iftop_1.0~pre2-5_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking iftop (1.0~pre2-5) ...
Processing triggers for man-db (2.6.7.1-1) ...
Setting up iftop (1.0~pre2-5) ...

As you can see, "neverexecuted" is printed on stdout (by apt-get if I look 
through strace) instead of being executed by bash at a later time.

If executed the second time (when the package is already installed), I 
correctly get:

# cat test.sh | bash
bash: line 4: neverexecuted: command not found

apt version: 1.0.2

I'm sure this used to work a few weeks ago.
