Bug#148009: apt-get source: reports too much download
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: minor
Dear deity!
While downloading a bigger number of source packages generated from a
script, I was astonished, that apt wanted to download over 600 MB for
approximatly 100 packages.
After further investigation I could track this down to this:
| david@zion:~/local/rebuild$ apt-cache show xlibmesa-dev xlibs-dev | grep Source
| Source: xfree86
| Source: xfree86
| david@zion:~/local/rebuild$ apt-get source xlibmesa-dev xlibs-dev
| Reading Package Lists... Done
| Building Dependency Tree... Done
| Need to get 112MB of source archives.
| Get:1 http://localhost unstable/main xfree86 4.1.0-16 (dsc) [1543B]
| Get:2 http://localhost unstable/main xfree86 4.1.0-16 (tar) [54.4MB]
As you can see, the two packages on the commandline (xlibmesa-dev and
xlibs-dev) have the same source (xfree86) which has ~55MB, but this is
younted two times for the 'Need to get 112MB of source archives.' line,
which is quite confusing.
Thank you for your time and work!
Regards, David
