Unless I care to keep apt output as an artifact somewhere which is IMHO an overkill. I just want an concise CI/CD log without interactive bells and whistles like progress indicators.Without seeing your CI/CD pipeine -- create a patterns file containing regular expressions that match the lines you want removed, then add a grep(1) filter into the pipeline:Of course I can think of many workarounds. The original question was however why "-qq" was not working and what I was missing in "apt" usage.
You're right -- I made no attempt to figure out why apt(8) apparently does not implement proper "quiet", "real-quiet", etc., options.
Call it pragmatism. I've been down plenty of rabbit holes trying to trouble-shoot software; and I expect apt(8) is non-trivial. How many hours have you and others spent on this issue? Have you found the "correct" solution? Using grep(1) in a command pipeline to filter out unwanted lines is a known technique. It took me a few minutes to write the example, and it works.
