Hi,

Given the following exceprt from the apt-get(8) manpage:

       -d

       --download-only
              Download  only;  package  files are only retrieved,
              not unpacked  or  installed.   Configuration  Item:
              APT::Get::Download-Only.

and the actual behavior of apt-get, e.g.:

  # apt-get -d install ssh
  Reading Package Lists... Done
  Building Dependency Tree... Done
  Sorry, ssh is already the newest version.
  0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 31  not upgraded.

there is a contradiction: apt-get still wants to install the package.
If it wouldn't want to, it had downloaded the package and had left it in
/var/cache/apt/archives.

There are several ways we could solve this contradiction:

1. make a new apt-get command, e.g.: apt-get deb <package>

2. correct the manpage, e.g.: s/"package  files are only retrieved, not
   unpacked  or  installed."/"the regular install procedure of apt-get(8)
   stops right after retrieving the package. It doesn't retrieve the package
   if it is already installed and if the dependencies are not met."/

3. any more ideas?

Thanks.
BR,

Csan

"marriedbutalwayslonely has arrived"
<p>How have you been? You would not
believe what I found but it is true. There is a site for people to talk, chat,
see each others pictures, and even meet each other as close as next door
that I found.But that's not the best part, here
is why it's so unbelievable, not all the people are single, in fact,
a lot of them are even married, looking to
satisfy their hungriest desires.
