Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20.2ubuntu6
Severity: normal

Problem: I would like to download several packages with their dependencies 
through apt-get. Specifically, I am using chdist and apt-get, so it would 
be a great comfort if this bug is fixed.

Description:
While having installed nvidia-glx-180 (ubuntu-specific) on my system, 
I have tried to download some packages that are known to conflict:
$ apt-cache show nvidia-glx-71 nvidia-glx-180

Here are some commands I tried by enabling force-all:
apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-all" -d install nvidia-glx-71
apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-all" -d install nvidia-glx-71
apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-breaks" -o DPkg::Options::="--force-conflicts" -d install nvidia-glx-71

I have also tried to apply the following rules:
$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/custom-apt-test
DPkg 
{
  Options {"--force-all";}
}

Moreover, the apt-config dump shows another attempt with these options:
DPkg::Options:: "--force-breaks";
DPkg::Options:: "--force-conflicts";
DPkg::Options:: "--force-depends";

None of them seem to work.

These were also tested through chdist apt-get (with proper apt.conf options) 
and still cause problem, probably because apt-get checks the system for 
installed packages, even with the -d option passed.

Suggestion:
The solutions I can recommend would be to
a) Fix the dpkg options to be recognized (I might be using something 
   wrong here so not 100% sure).
and/or
b) Since "-d" argument specifically tells apt-get not to install/process a package
   but just download it, apt-get should not check the system for installed packages 
   with the "-d" option enabled (probably limit it to a warning?).

Thank you for your time!

    - add apt-get download (closes: #82738)

Even if "download" still has bugs, we are closing one at a time and
I think after 3 years it should be possible to close the wishlist
bug asking for it. ;)


For everyone who wonders why "apt-get install -d …" can't be used for
that, Daniel Hardwig gave a fitting explaination in:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528412#20
(I wonder how it happened that this comment was written more than a year
 /after/ we had the requested feature…)

If you want "all dependencies" you will need to use a status file. Its
possible with some options to use another download dir and another
statusfile, so nothing needs to be done about that exactly.
(It also avoids the answer of what "all" in this context actually means)


Best regards
