Description
See screenshot in attachment. This time it hits me while typing my password which is pretty bad…
I think that this was not happening in the first versions of Additional Software.

This is expected behavior. If we don’t like it, we can:
- set loglevel to WARNING so INFO is not printed
- fork just before displaying the notification, so less output is printed

I’m not against having this info printed out on the terminal. But I’m against having it being printed after I got the prompt back and thus possibly appearing in the middle of another useful terminal line. I’m attaching another screenshot to clarify that the bug that I’m referring to.
I actually care more about preventing this bug than about whether the info is displayed or not. So if fixing this it not trival, then maybe switching to WARNING would be better. But wouldn’t this bug affect WARNING lines as well?
Maybe the proper solution would be to not give the prompt back until the whole process is finished.
