Hello, I'm running v4.1.1, Linux 6.17.2-2, and apt 3.0.3 (amd64). I'm wondering why when I run apt update then apt upgrade it shows the packages in a super clean, colorful, and easy to read format. Versus my PVE running v8.4.16, Linux 6.8.12-17, and apt 2.6.1 (amd64) (and my Ubuntu machine for that matter) shows their packages in just a single-color, long paragraph form. Wondering what code is making that happen and if anyone would know why it isn't implemented into PVE apt? Below are some examples of the PVE (not so clear) then the PBS (very clear). Thanks!

PBS 4 is on Trixie / Debian 13

PVE 8.4 is Bookworm / Debian 12

So... just upgrade and you get the new apt output "for free" ;-)
