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

In today's current economic environment it is becoming increasingly more difficult to avoid social & economic predators. These modern day predators (credit bureau errors, bill collectors etc...) prey on the hard working citizens of the US. Join us in forming an Alliance against such "predators". Although in many cases paychecks are lower and job security scarce, doesn't mean we will no longer need homes for our families, cars, credit cards or personal loans. In all probability we at sometime in the future will be in the market for one or more of these essentials. Formany of us these very necessary living expenses will be difficult to obtain. That's where we can help.
Alliance Credit Group can help assist you in boosting your current credit rating by eliminating negative, misleading, unverifiable, inaccurate and outdated information from your credit file. In doing this, you will no longer have to be subject to paying ridiculously high interest rates because of a low credit rating. Shop for the best rates when in the market for a family home, car or when applying for a personal loan or credit cards.
Visit us at our website today for more information on your rights to improving your personal credit profile. In most cases you can become eligible for the very best "Credit" has to offer you.
