Bug#135021: apt: improve slightly confusing message
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Some people mentioned the `After unpacking xxxB wil be used' message
is slightly clear since it does not mention that this is extra diskspace
on top of the already installed packages. This patch (against current CVS)
states that explicitly to avoid that confusion.
I split the line in two since otherwise the line could be wider then
80 characters.
Wichert.
