Severity: normal
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
