Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.21

All I know is I like to use one of your scripts, checkbashisms.

All was fine, until today, for the privilege of continuing to use this
tiny script, I "Need to get 37.4MB of archives".

Seen on apt-get dselect-upgrade, dist-ugrade, but not plain upgrade.

Abort.

But then oddly, first doing an upgrade before a dselect-upgrade avoids
the massive download.

Assuming this is during an upgrade to 2.10.23 or later, then the packages are probably being pulled in by the elevation of a number of packages from Suggests to Recommends in order to fix a Policy issue. The set of packages installed was revised slightly in 2.10.24, so I'm marking this bug as fixed in that version.

If your issue is with the difference between the sets of packages apt chooses to install in various situations then that would be something you should discuss with the apt maintainers.

Regards,

Adam
