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,
