Re: difference between NEW and Extra packages in dpkg install

Here is the output with apt-get install (albeit with --download-only. You get
the same output if you were to go ahead with the real install) I am trying
to understand the difference between the NEW packages and the Extra
packages. Why are they being called out separately ? Even if some packages
are "Extra", are they newly installed too ?


apt-get --download-only install tomcat5
