Hi,

It is shown, it is just that GitLab Runner seems to hide certain lines ending in certain
newline character sequences.

You _can_ get to the full apt actions logs by going to the job and pressing the "Show complete 
raw" button at the top next to the Search bar.

Unfortunately this will not fix the issue and the issue really belong to the GitLab
runner and its termination character detection. I will search for an issue on the
GitLab.com tracker, but so far I haven't found anything as yet.

It would help if we could find a bug on the tracker already about the termination
character issue.
