Hi APT team, I'd like to acquire .debs on a box that does have HTTP access to a Debian mirror so that I can transfer them to a box that has no such access and manually install them using dpkg. Problem is, if I go "apt-get clean; apt-get -d install package" for a package that is already up to date on the box that has HTTP access, apt-get says there's no point in getting the package, as it's already up to date. This is a fair enough statement to make, however I'd like some (easy) way of acquiring .debs for transferring security updates to servers within my infrastructure that aren't able to access a Debian mirror (for security reasons) apt-get would seem to be the tool of choice, so if there isn't some hidden functionality to accomplish this, perhaps you could take this onboard as a feature request? Andrew
