Oops, no need for such a (kind of) rude answer =(

Yes, I mean the "(Reading database..." messages and I have not looked
into the code of apt to tell where they come from. All I know is that
the call to apt-get with quiet option isn't quiet anymore, the
behaviourof apt-get from a user point of view has changed from Utopic to
Vivid, so this is a valid bug report for this package and the version
mentioned. It is a real life problem as it breaks at least the package
cron-apt as I mentioned in the bug report above.

The maintainer of it should now decide how to proceed with it...

Title:
  apt-get -o quiet=1 dist-upgrade isn't quiet anymore

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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
