Bug#376885: download even with inconsistent database



Package: apt
Version: 0.6.44.2
Severity: wishlist

seamus:~> apt-get install -d libsys-hostname-long-perl

You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  logcheck: Depends: logcheck-database (= 1.2.43bpo1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt-get -f install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).

Yes, I know my system is (purposely) inconsistent right now. But
I am only asking APT to download something. It should be able to do
that...
