how to get full package url from apt-cache?
Hi,
is it possible to get the full URL of a package (the one which is passed
by apt-get to dpkg for package installation) from apt-cache or some other
standard tool? What I would lite to do is something like this:
$ apt-url bash
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/
base/bash_2.03-6.deb
$ apt-url my-package
file:/local/packages/my-package_1.10.deb
The "apt-cache show" command lists the Filename fields but this is useless
because it is a relative path.
