Using qubesctl to update dom0 appears to output some literal code

Qubes OS release

Qubes 4.1.1

Brief summary

I think attempting to update dom0 is outputting some literal code instead of running the code.

Steps to reproduce

In dom0, run:

sudo qubesctl --show-output state.sls update.qubes-dom0 2>&1

Expected behavior

Normal output; no literal code.

Actual behavior

This is in the output:

Name: if qubes-dom0-update --quiet --assumeyes --clean --action=clean expire-cache >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    echo "result=True comment='Cache cleaned'"
else
    echo "result=False comment='Could not clean cache'"
fi

I'm guessing that I, as the user, am only supposed to see either 'Cache cleaned' or 'Could not clean cache'.

On second look, these are the next lines of the output:

    ESC[0;32m  Result: TrueESC[0;0m
    ESC[0;32m Comment: Cache cleanedESC[0;0m

So I guess it's working correctly and this is just an extremely verbose "name" that should probably be something more user-facing.

You guessed correctly @andrewdavidwong. I will fix this.
