Hi, the command "apt-cache show" displays package information, including package size after installation, but units are not reported (Mb, Kb, etc). I have seen a bug report long ago: Debian Bug report logs - #173120 <173...@bugs.debian.org> but it seems this is not fixed.

apt-cache show and aptitude show report different dependencies - Why?

2007-12-15 Thread Amogh Hooshdar
