If you have an old version of a package, say OpenSSL, that was installed a year ago when you wanted PackageA, then both will be updated when you get PackageB which also depends on it. B’s bottle only refers to the new OpenSSL, and the old version is deleted so you need the new A bottle. No auto update just means you use the state of homebrew-core that you had before you ran the command, rather than updating it right before using it. It makes sense, but then I don’t do full upgrades and get delayed just like OP. I live with it.
