at this point in the process we don't even know that we have _any_ cached packages.

so we can't do this easily.

We could do it with a fair bit of code shuffling but I don't think it's really
worth doing. The benefit is extremely minimal.

Comment 2 Rahul Sundaram 2005-12-19 12:07:31 UTC
The benefit is that users can understand exactly how much amount of stuff they
need to download. For low bandwidth users this can mean a lot. The current
process does not take cache data into account and is pretty misleading. If the
amount of code required to provide this information is large, then can you
change the message to indicate that it does not take cache into account?
