I tested and found that apt-get, when doing a dry run, does not list the space to be used or the size of the packages to be downloaded. Can you provide an apt-get invocation that will give us this information non-interactively (i.e., without having to tell apt 'no' at the end to avoid beginning the upgrade at this stage)? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
