You can use the tools in the grep-dctrl package, if you like. This one-liner sums the sizes of all the packages in your local available file; if you want to work on a local Packages file, use 'grep-dctrl -nsSize -r . Packages' or 'zcat Packages.gz | grep-dctrl -nsSize -r .' instead. grep-available -nsSize -r . | perl -le '$t += $_ while <>; print $t;' On woody/i386, this currently prints 4448543468, although I have a couple of extra packages installed which may skew it slightly. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
