Bug#208201: apt: when upgrading, wrong occupied space is shown
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal
The last time I run `apt dselect-upgrade', I noticed that the additional
space occupied computed by apt was wrong. I did not take notes, but I
can approximately say that I was installing about 40MB worth of
packages, and removing about 20 MB worth of packages.
apt told me that I was going to use an additional 40 MB of space, but
that was wrong, and in fact `df' showed approximately 20 MB less of free
space at the end of the process (which is what I expected).
It looked like apt was not considering the size of the removed packages.
Sorry for not reporting exact numbers, but that was a thing that I
noticed only after the installation process was finished.
