Bug Description
The wget2 help describes that there are three values for the `progress` option:
- `bar`
- `dot`
- `none`
however, `dot` is not actually implemented. Specifying `progress=dot` on execution will cause an error.

UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
this has been fixed in >2.0.0 and afaik the 2.1.0 Debian package will be sync soon.
FYI: the part of the wget2 help and manpage:
--progress Type of progress bar (bar, none).
(default: none)
‐‐progress=type
Select the type of the progress indicator you wish to use. Supported
indicator types are none and bar.
Type bar draws an ASCII progress bar graphics (a.k.a “thermometer” dis‐
play) indicating the status of retrieval.
If the output is a TTY, bar is the default. Else, the progress bar
will be switched off, except when using ‐‐force‐progress.
The type ‘dot’ is currently not supported, but won’t trigger an error
to not break wget command lines.
The parameterized types bar:force and bar:force:noscroll will add the
effect of ‐‐force‐progress. These are accepted for better wget compat‐
ibility.
