Hi! [ Merged both bugs, as I see adequate being setup in both systems. ] On Tue, 2024-07-23 at 13:08:19 +0300, Antti Kultanen wrote: > Package: apt > Version: 2.9.6 > Severity: important > apt-get has started misbehaving.

[ Nice debugging session, BTW! :) ] I had also seen this, and after some arduous bisecting and comparison with a freshly installed system I finally was able to track it down to adequate. Removing the packages gets rid of the misbehavior. I've not looked further whether the adequate code itself is messing up the console, or something else, but removing it definitely fixes this, which I also got confirmation of from gregor herrmann. Thanks, Guillem
