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...

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
