Bug#131418: apt: An option to download a deb to the working directory.



Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

I would like an option similar to 'apt-get source', but for binary
packages. That is to dowload only the .deb in the working directory.

Something like

apt-get download <package> 

that just put the relevant package.deb in the working directory.

apt-get install -d exists, but

--- need root access.

--- will not works if the package is installed or uninstallable.

--- does not put files in the working directory.

It should be fairly easy to implement, no ?

Cheers,
