Using listings, copy bash command in 1 line

Question

Im trying to insert in my PDF some long bash commands like this one:

I like how it looks but, when trying to copy, it splits the command into 3 lines, which obviously is not how I would like it to work.
I provide the code which generates the image above:
documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}

RequirePackage{xcolor}

usepackage{listings}

lstdefinestyle{bashStyle}{
  language=bash,
  basicstyle=smallsffamily,
  frame=tb,
  columns=fullflexible,
  backgroundcolor=color{yellow!20},
  linewidth=linewidth,
  xleftmargin=0.075linewidth,
  breaklines=true,
  literate =
    {'}{{textquotesingle}}1
    {-}{{-}}1
}

begin{document}

begin{lstlisting}[style=bashStyle]
      user@machine:~$ apt-get install package1 package2 package3 package4 package5 package6 package7 package8 package9 package10 package11 package12
  end{lstlisting}

end{document}

EDIT:
For clarification purposes, this is what I get when I paste the command after copying it:
Line 1: apt-get install package1 package2 package3 package4
Line 2: package5 package6 package7 package8 package9 package10
Line 3: package11 package12

And this is what I want:
Line 1: apt-get install package1 package2 package3 package4 package5 package6 package7 package8 package9 package10 package11 package12

You can add a button that will be used by the readers to copy content in the original format.
documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}
usepackage{listings}

lstdefinestyle{bashStyle}{
  language=bash,
  basicstyle=smallsffamily,
  frame=tb,
  columns=fullflexible,
  backgroundcolor=color{yellow!20},
  linewidth=linewidth,
  xleftmargin=0.075linewidth,
  breaklines=true,
  literate =
    {'}{{textquotesingle}}1
    {-}{{-}}1
}

usepackage{accsupp}
usepackage{verbatim}
usepackage{color}
usepackage[misc]{ifsym}

definecolor{lstbgcolor}{rgb}{0.9,0.9,0.9}

makeatletter
lst@RequireAspects{writefile}

% Use accsupp package to add listing content as copyable text.
lstnewenvironment{copyablelisting}{%
  lst@BeginAlsoWriteFile{jobname.lsttmp}%
}
{%
  lst@EndWriteFile
  letverbatim@processlineadd@lstline
  globalletlstfileempty
  verbatiminput{jobname.lsttmp}%
  marginpar{(BeginAccSupp{method=escape,ActualText={lstfile}}PaperPortraitEndAccSupp{})}
}
defadd@lstline
{xdeflstfile{unexpandedexpandafter{lstfile}theverbatim@linestring^^J}}
makeatother

begin{document}

lstset{breakatwhitespace=true,style=bashStyle,breaklines=true,language=[LaTeX]TeX,basicstyle=smallttfamily,flexiblecolumns,backgroundcolor=color{lstbgcolor}}

begin{copyablelisting}
      user@machine:~$ apt-get install package1 package2 package3 package4 package5 package6 package7 package8 package9 package10 package11 package12
  end{copyablelisting}

end{document}
