Severity: normal
Hi,
Consider this typescript,
106 jsroot ~ # apt-get --download-only install sn leafnode
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
leafnode: Conflicts: news-transport-system
sn: Conflicts: news-transport-system
E: Sorry, broken packages
--> exit status 100
Now, if I had tried this with a separate invocation of apt-get for
each package, then the downloading would have been preformed with
no errors being reported.
IMO, apt should just present me with a warning in this case, and
then give me the opportunity to proceed anyway, eg, like this,
[...]
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
leafnode: Conflicts: news-transport-system
sn: Conflicts: news-transport-system
Do you want to continue anyway? [Y/n]
Thanks,

download-only is not ment to be used to download arbitary combinations of
packages. It only exists so you can begin a download without going on to
the install phase automatically. The feature you want would break that
behaviour.
You should use a different tool for downloading arbitary combinations of
packages.
