What is bloating the new image?

The latest image as of today: 2012-12-16 Raspbain.

I just re-image my 2GB SD card which I have been using for ages and have re-imaged and installed all the software that I require before, has just produces an error message durring 'apt-get install program1...program32' (fill in the spaces) that I have NO SPACE ON SD CARD.

I have never seen this before with previous images. Can anyone tell me what is new on the SD card that would be taking up all that precious free space? (new from OCT image?)

The apt-get install about is for 225mb of stuff that I use. I have never had a problem installing all of that and then un-installing programs I don't need from there. I remeber on the first image back in May/June, there was 311Mb of free space without un-installing or installing any programs... what has happened?

Just FYI per file properties,

After first installing it on a 2 GB SD card I have always used at least 4 GB cards since then (this is what is suggested on the RPF downloads page)
after also experiencing problems using apt-get. The ~ 198 MB left over on a 2 GB install is cutting it way too close if you plan to do any expansion
of the base setup at all.
