Package: apt Version: 0.3.6 When I do apt-get commands, the status looks like:
> Reading Package Lists... Done > Building Dependency Tree... Done > The following packages have been kept back > mozilla > 16 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. > Need to get 7556kb of archives. After unpacking 43.0kb will be used. > Do you want to continue? [Y/n] > Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main bc 1.05a-6 [56.1kb] > Get:2 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main dc 1.05a-6 [44.7kb] > Get:3 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main gpm 1.17.8-2 [161kb] The downloads while in progress also display a total size, as well as a rate of speed for the download. The problem I see is that the size is specified as "kb", which in most contexts is unambiguously kilobytes but in the case of a download speed is often intended to mean kilobits. To fix this, I suggest apt be modified so it says "kB" wherever it means "kilobytes", and "kB/s" for kilobytes per second. I am using debian-unstable-just-upgraded, kernel 2.2.9, and glibc2.1.
