  3. If the apt options: "APT::Status-Fd" is set, apt will send status
  4. reports to that fd. The status information is seperated with a ':',
  5. there are the following status conditions:
  6. status = {"pmstatus", "dlstatus", "conffile-prompt", "error" }
  7. The reason for using a fd instead of a OpProgress class is that many
  8. apt frontend fork a (vte) terminal for the actual installation.
  9. The reason to do the mapping and l10n of the dpkg states to human
  10. readable (and translatable) strings is that this way the translation
  11. needs to be done only once for all frontends.
