Public bug reported: I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 dev with apt 1.2.9 and on upgrading a package directly with "apt-get install" apt shows that the dependencies get installed and upgraded if they are already installed while this looks a bit confusing (I think showing that they get upgraded is enough). Here is an example output:
root@ubuntu:~# apt-get install console-setup Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following additional packages will be installed: console-setup-linux keyboard-configuration The following packages will be upgraded: console-setup console-setup-linux keyboard-configuration 3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
