It sounds like what he's actually trying to do is to install APT on a
machine with good connectivity, and using APT in download-only mode to
download packages to local disk. He then copies the files to some
other medium, uses SneakerNet to bring them over to his machine
without connectivity, and installs them locally.
This is all well and good and reasonable, but I don't know how to
answer his question. :-)
