Sanity check with ubuntu 22.04 live server and desktop images

   1) install / upgrade / remove open-vm-tools from -proposed
   2) Install / upgrade / remove open-vm-tools-desktop (only for ubuntu 22.04 desktop image)
   3) tools service and VGAuth service are running when install / upgrade open-vm-tools
   4) tools service and VGAuth service are running after reboot VM
   5) check guestInfo from vmtools
   6) install/remove optional packages:
         open-vm-tools-sdmp
         open-vm-tools-salt-minion
         open-vm-tools-containerinfo

Output suspicious message as above in terminal when I install/remove optional package open-vm-tools-sdmp/ open-vm-tools-salt-minion/open-vm-tools-containerinfo with command "apt-get install/remove xxxx":
    Unknown option: q
    active

Take "apt-get remove open-vm-tools-containerinfo" as example:
 Reading package lists...

 The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
   libc-ares2 libgrpc++1 libgrpc10
 Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
 The following packages will be REMOVED:

Ignore the suspicious output message "Unknown option: q" or not ? Thanks very much.
