Hi Antonio, 2016-03-02 14:38 Antonio Ospite:
Package: aptitude Version: 0.7.7-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, apt has this handy feature of showing a progress bar when installing packages, see [1]. AFAIK the feature is enabled by default in recent apt versions but has to be enabled explicitly as described in [1] to work with apt-get and other programs: $ sudo sh -c "echo 'Dpkg::Progress-Fancy \"1\";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99progressbar" This used to work with aptitude too. I verified that after the command above aptitude on Jessie (0.6.11-1+b1) shows the fancy progress bar on the terminal when installing packages. However, the progress bar does not seem to show anymore with recent aptitude versions (0.7.5, 0.7.6 or 0.7.7 as confirmed by mafm on IRC). Any idea about what may have made it stop working?
This will work again now. It happened a few versions ago because of adapting aptitude for changes in apt 1.1 (deprecated function), and using only one type of progress which the old function uses internally. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <manuel.montez...@gmail.com>
