but I don't want the Russian etc. documentation

[Dan Jacobson]

As a faithful Debian user, I must keep abreast of all latest advances.
# apt-get --print-uris -y dist-upgrade|awk 'NF==4{print $3,$2}'|grep apt-|sort -rn
300030 apt-howto-ru_1.8.5-2_all.deb
258682 apt-howto-pl_1.8.5-2_all.deb

13076 apt-howto_1.8.5-2_all.deb
10996 apt-file_2.0.3-2_all.deb

Hmmm, as my home isn't as international as the average Debian user, if
I were to cut down on modem time,

# apt-get -s remove --purge  apt-howto-ru
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  apt-howto* apt-howto-ru* 
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 825  not upgraded.
Purg apt-howto (1.8.5-2 Debian:unstable)
Purg apt-howto-ru (1.8.5-2 Debian:unstable)

I would also toss apt-howto itself to the winds. Has this been fixed yet?

I see, I just install only the _en, and remove the general package?
Is that how it works for all such doc packages?
