About what progress reporting are we talking here? (apt has a gazillion steps which have independent progress reporting, so "progress report" is a tat too unspecific).
If we are talking about the "(Reading database" in the output you attached, this isn't even coming from apt – this is coming from dpkg [and apt never controlled the (non-)quietness of dpkg], so in that case you want to talk to them instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448917 Title: apt-get -o quiet=1 dist-upgrade isn't quiet anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1448917/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
