UUOTac? Try "sed '1,4d'" instead of the tac|head|tac stuff. Or
better,
use an awk range to filter the output:
awk '/^Setting up/,/^Updated Packages/{next};{print $1}'
Although this might be better, because it could be used with '-e 0 -d 0'
consistently:
awk 'FNR==1,/^Updated Packages/ {next}; {print}'
