What did I just ruin?

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I may have outsmarted myself.

I was about to upgrade packages and I wanted to capture the plethora of
messages I expected
this to produce, so I did it under script(1).  It captured all right, but
I'm a bit worried by a thing it
captured a few times...

For instance, at the end of fetching packages....  it's got a problem with
Dialog (whatever that is)
and it's not clear that its workaround worked.
