Package: apt Version: 1.8.2 Severity: normal Hi,
there are several places where apt is IMHO overzealous in trying to teach the users in how to use it: $ apt list --upgradable > packages.list WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. Yes, the interface might change in the future, but that's IMHO no reason to nag about that fact every time. The same happens in "really interactive" mode: $ apt list --upgradable | less WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. Please just drop that warning. The program does work when invoked in these ways, and if I insist in writing bad shell scripts, it's not apt's responsibility to tell me about it. Thanks, Christoph
