Package: apt-file
Version: 2.5.4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
apt-file has many options but the one which will it human-readable. By
human readable I mean using existence of 1024 KiB and 1024 Mib.
As it stands now :-
[$] apt-file --help
apt-file [options] action [pattern]
apt-file [options] -f action <file>
apt-file [options] -D action <debfile>
Configuration options:
--architecture -a <arch> Use specific architecture
--cache -c <dir> Cache directory
--cdrom-mount -d <cdrom> Use specific cdrom mountpoint
--dummy -y run in dummy mode (no action)
--fixed-string -F Do not expand pattern
--from-deb -D Use file list of .deb package(s) as
patterns; implies -F
--from-file -f Read patterns from file(s), one
per line
(use '-' for stdin)
--ignore-case -i Ignore case distinctions
--non-interactive -N Skip schemes requiring user input
(useful in cron jobs)
--package-only -l Only display packages name
--regexp -x pattern is a regular expression
--sources-list -s <file> sources.list location
--verbose -v run in verbose mode
--help -h Show this help.
-- End of options (necessary if
pattern
starts with a '-')
Action:
update Fetch Contents files from
apt-sources.
search|find <pattern> Search files in packages
list|show <pattern> List files in packages
purge Remove cache files
Looking forward to an update of th package.

Hi,
I believe this is fixed in apt-file/3.0~exp (currently only in
experimental). Here apt-file delegates all downloading to apt and
accordingly no longer have any size output.
Thanks,
