Bug Description

```
DIFFERENCES TO APT-GET(8)
       The apt command is meant to be pleasant for end users and does not need
       to be backward compatible like apt-get(8). Therefore some options are
       different:

       · The option DPkgPM::Progress-Fancy is enabled.

       · The option APT::Color is enabled.

       · A new list command is available similar to dpkg --list.

       · The option upgrade has --with-new-pkgs enabled by default.

```

the option DPkgPM::Progress-Fancy should be Dpkg::Progress-Fancy.

apt (1.0.2ubuntu2) utopic; urgency=medium

  * apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.cc: When checking gzip filesizes, cast
    size to uint32_t before setting it, so we don't end up playing
    with the wrong half of a uint64_t on big-endian architectures.
