[Bug 1448917] [NEW] apt-get -o quiet=1 dist-upgrade isn't quiet anymore

 

Public bug reported:

Description:	Ubuntu 15.04
Release:	15.04

apt:
  Installed: 1.0.9.7ubuntu4
  Candidate: 1.0.9.7ubuntu4
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.9.7ubuntu4 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Current:

Until updating from Utopic to Vivid apt-get with command line parameter
"-o quiet 1" did not output the progress as formatted text. Since the
update the progress is written to stdout as formatted text. This breaks
a lot of scripts, e.g. the cron-apt package with mail send enabled. The
attached text is no longer text only and will be encoded as binary, so
the mail is unreadable.

Expected:

Same behaviour as with version from Utopic, no progress output

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
