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,

Bill. <ballombe@debian.org>

You can do this with some creative use of command line options. I forget
the exact sequence, but it was something like
apt-get -o dir::cache::archives="." -o dir::etc::status=/dev/null install
foo -d
Read the man pages..
