Reduce apt-get install verbosity #3205
Conversation
The new version of the installer moved from debconf-apt-progress to raw apt-get output on installs to solve issues with interactive config file choices. This lead to a largely increases amount of output lines of the installer. To reduce the apt-get output to a minimum, while sustaining interactive input in case of config files, the "-qq" option can be used, which inherits "--yes": - https://manpages.debian.org/buster/apt/apt-get.8.en.html#OPTIONS - https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/apt-get.8.html#options Signed-off-by: MichaIng <micha@dietpi.com>

Is that an approval Promo? ;) |

Not until I've had chance to test it. I like the idea in principle, though. Less verbosity = happier Promofaux. |

If it works then I'm behind it as well. |

It basically removes the upper part of the output, progress of lists/cache reading, summary of installed/upgraded packages (including dependencies), progress of package downloads. The dpkg output itself, package unpacking and setting up, seems unchanged. |
