Package: dpkg Version: 1.15.8.13 Severity: wishlist Seems that dpkg does some tricks using ^M on stdout, even if it is writing into a logfile. Sample:
: Package installation log: ^MExtracting templates from packages: 33% ^MExtracting templates from packages: 67%^M Extracting templates from packages: 100% : : Problem is: If heirloom-mailx provides /usr/bin/mailx, then the unattended-upgrades logs are mailed as application/octet-stream due to the ^M. Makes it very hard to read in the MUA. Using bsd-mailx there is no such problem. Would it be possible to use a newline instead of ^M, if stdout is not bound to a terminal?
