Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
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

 make
      sure you get that next promotion! <br>
      Or maybe you want a fake diploma to hang on your bedroom wall. You'l=
l find
      addresses for companies that make these diplomas on the Banned CD. N=
eed to
      disappear fast and never look back? No problem! Using the Banned CD,=
 you
      will learn how to build a completely new identity. Obviously, the Po=

      That Be don't want you to have the Banned CD. They have threatened m=

      lawsuits, fines, and even imprisonment unless I stop selling it
      immediately. But I feel that YOU have a Constitutional right to acce=

      this type of information, and I can't be intimidated. Uncle Sam and =
your
      creditors are horrified that I am still selling this product! There =
must
      be a price on my head! <br>
      Why are they so upset? Because this CD gives you freedom. And you ca=
n't
      buy freedom at your local Walmart. You will have the freedom to avoi=
