The point is: k and M are no real units. So no units are used at all and your complain that we skip the units for small sizes ONLY is wrong, since we skip them for ALL sizes.
But as I said before, your bug report proves that using different multipliers (k, M or none) is too confusing. I am unsure if this should be fixed in the frontend or in apt itself, since it provides the size of a package. -- Small sized updates should show units on size https://launchpad.net/bugs/53415 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
