These message are generated by AptPkg::Cache.

Fortunately, there's a parameter to reduce the verbosity of AptPkg::Cache.

Given the desing of cme, Config::Model and Dpkg model, setting up an option is 
not possible. The only practical way would be an env variable.

However, I don't really care about AptPkg progress messages, so  let's setup 
AptPkg in quiet mode.

Bug#1129473: cme: Please provide an option to disable the loading %ages

2026-03-01 Thread Andrew McMillan 
Package: cme
Version: 1.044-2
Severity: wishlist

When I run `cme` in a pipeline, as a step in reviewing packages in the
NEW queue, it outputs the following unnecessary information which is
fine, interactively, but not so great when it's saved for later
reporting:


```
Reading package lists... 0%

Reading package lists... 100%

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree... 0%

```


For example, see the 'CME Fix' note at:

https://dfsg-new-queue.debian.org/reviews/gnome-shell-extension-paperwm/49.0.1-1



I would love if there were a `-quiet` option, or similar, which would
omit this.

Thanks,
Andrew McMillan
