Bug#178568: apt-get sometimes doesnt ask me before going to the net

["Dan Jacobson" <jidanni@dman.ddts.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/apt-get

Odd, for small packages, the usual [Y/n] query is not there and it
goes off to fetch the package... i don't recall the man page mentioned
thresholds.

# apt-get  install netselect
