Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal
Desiring to know the URI from which debhelper would be downloaded were I to
reinstall it, I ran:
mizar# apt-get --print-uris install debhelper
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Sorry, debhelper is already the newest version.
The next logical attempt was:
apt-get --reinstall --print-uris install debhelper
Which produced the following odd behaviour:
mizar# apt-get --reinstall --print-uris install debhelper
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 2
not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/184kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
mizar#
After I pressed enter at the prompt, apt-get exited successfully without,
apparently, doing anything.

But there is nothing odd about that, it always prompts y/n for a
reinstall and you already had the package downloaded so --print-uris does
nothing. --print-uris is ment to be used with sneaker-net, not for
querying uris of arbtitary things.
