Description

Would be great to have a --verbose flag so that we can see where any installation progress hangs. For example

/var/log ❯❯❯ mas lucky iMovie                                                                                                                                                                                                     
################################################------------ 80.6% Waiting

always gets stuck at 80.6% - I'd like to see what it is trying or waiting for. The exact commands that were executed before and what the command is where it hangs.

That would be awesome. Thanks.

Research direction

Start by reproducing mas lucky iMovie and observe the progress output around 80.6%. Trace the command execution and waiting behavior revealed by that reproduction. Done means a --verbose option shows the commands executed and identifies what the process is waiting for when installation progress hangs.
