Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
According to the man page, the -d option is for only downloading, but not installing or configuring the packages. Well, this is what I get:
hooloovoo:/home/abli# apt-get -ds install masqmail
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
exim eximon
The following NEW packages will be installed:
masqmail
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 2 to remove and 51 not upgraded.
Remv eximon (3.31-1 Debian:testing)
Remv exim (3.31-1 Debian:testing) [at anacron mailx ]
Inst masqmail (0.1.15-1 Debian:testing)
Conf masqmail (0.1.15-1 Debian:testing)
hooloovoo:/home/abli#
So it clearly wants to configure the package.
hooloovoo:/home/abli# uname -a
Linux hooloovoo 2.2.17 #1 Sun Jun 25 09:24:41 EST 2000 i686 unknown
hooloovoo:/home/abli# dpkg -s libc6 | grep ^Version
Version: 2.2.4-1
O, yes, and when I actually want to do it:
hooloovoo:/home/abli# apt-get -d install masqmail
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
exim eximon
The following NEW packages will be installed:

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.
hooloovoo:/home/abli#
I just want to download the package, because I don't want to throw exim out. (I use a dialup and prefer configuring cmplex things like mail while offline)
Just to be really long:
hooloovoo:/home/abli# apt-get -d install glaxium
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following NEW packages will be installed:

Which is what it does, it stops before running dpkg commands, but acts the
same otherwise. 's' override download and displays what will happen.
--print-uris is for downloading like -s is for installing
