Package: apt Version: 0.5.27 Severity: minor Hi,
apt-get(8) says about --quiet: |Note that quiet level 2 implies -y, you should never use -qq without a |no-action modifier such as -d, --print-uris or -s as APT may decided |to do something you did not expect. What would be dangerous with apt-get -qq update? Rationale for this question: apt-get update displays its output in the order the download servers have reacted in. This is not deterministic and thus makes it hard to determine whether any changes have occurred. I'd like to have an option that safely downloads new package files while reliably creating the same output if no error has occurred.
