Bug Description

[Impact]

* landscape-package-changer will output stack traces when executed
   with python3. This adds noise in the logs and confuse apport into
   thinking there was a crash, even though the error does not affect
   functionality.

* The activity log for package operations will also show errors.

* The patch overrides python-apt reporting of progress, as
landscape-package-changer is never executed from a terminal.

[Test Case]

* register landscape-client and wait for packages to be reported.

* trigger a package installation from the landscape server.

* check /var/log/landscape/manager.log for Package changer warnings

[Regression Potential]

* The change is trivially simple.

* The changed code path is only used by python-apt progress reporting.
   Since landscape-package-changer does not rely on it and is able
   to continue, other errors would likely have the same fate: that is
   crashing the progress reporting thread and continuing.

On both bionic and eoan I installed postgres packages from Landscape with both the current version and the proposed version of Landscape client. Errors were seen with the current version and they were gone in the proposed version.
