Package: apt Version: 0.6.44.2 Severity: normal When running "apt-get update", I see messages like this:
99% [24 Packages rred 49152] Is "rred" a typo of "read"? If not, please pick a more descriptive term. I have no idea what is meant here. The apt-get man page does not explain. Also, what does the number to the right of the rred (49152) represent? All of the other numbers are self-explanatory. For example, it is clear in "2006-07-25-1313.19.pdiff [339B]" that the diff is 339 bytes. It is also clear that in "37.3kB/s", my rate is 37.3 kilobytes per second. The number 49152 has no units, and it doesn't help that I have no idea what rred is supposed to be. All I know is that item #24, a package file, is being downloaded. In summary: 1. Fix the term "rred". 2. Add units to the number that follows it.
