Bug#117856: apt: --no-download should bypass free space test for .debs

["James R. Van Zandt" <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: normal

If I have specified --no-download, then it's silly for apt to give up
just because there is not enough space for the .debs to be downloaded
yet.  I would like to install as many .debs as possible, so I can
delete them from /var/cache/apt/archives and make space to download
more.

  Need to get 42.2MB/56.7MB of archives. After unpacking 18.0MB will be used.
  E: Sorry, you don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/ to hold all the .debs.
