apt-get man page: you should never use -q=2 without a no-action modifier #10

Description

@bknowles

/usr/bin/apt-get -q=2 update > /dev/null

Note that the apt-get man page has this to say about the -q=2 option:

       -q, --quiet
           Quiet; produces output suitable for logging, omitting progress indicators. More q's will produce more quiet up
           to a maximum of 2. You can also use -q=# to set the quiet level, overriding the configuration file. Note that
           quiet level 2 implies -y; you should never use -qq without a no-action modifier such as -d, --print-uris or -s
           as APT may decide to do something you did not expect. Configuration Item: quiet.
