-q[=3D<n>], --quiet[=3D<n>]
           Suppress all incremental progress indicators, thus making the
output loggable. This may be supplied multiple times to make the program
quieter, but
           unlike apt-get, aptitude does not enable -y when -q is =
supplied
more than once.

       -y, --assume-yes
           When a yes/no prompt would be presented, assume that the user
entered "yes". In particular, suppresses the prompt that appears when
installing,
           upgrading, or removing packages. Prompts for "dangerous" =
actions,
such as removing essential packages, will still be displayed. This =
option
overrides
           -P.
