Package: apt
Version: 0.7.25.3
Severity: normal

I want to download the libpcre3-dev for the purpose of installing it on another
system.  So the fact that I can't install it on my current system shouldn't
be a problem.  I'm not going to complete the upgrade of libc6 because it
requires restarting kdm and I don't want to logout right now.

There is no technical reason why apt-get shouldn't be able to just download a
single .deb file and verify the checksum in spite of having problems that might
make it impossible to install the package immediately.

In fact it would be really convenient if apt-get could be run as non-root for
the purpose of downloading packages to be installed on another system.

# apt-get -f --download-only install --reinstall libpcre3-dev

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libc-dev-bin: Depends: libc6 (> 2.11) but 2.10.2-9 is to be installed
  libc6: Depends: libc-bin (= 2.10.2-9) but 2.11.1-1 is to be installed
  libc6-dbg: Depends: libc6 (= 2.11.1-1) but 2.10.2-9 is to be installed
  libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.11.1-1) but 2.10.2-9 is to be installed
  libc6-i386: Depends: libc6 (= 2.11.1-1) but 2.10.2-9 is to be installed
  locales: Depends: glibc-2.11-1
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

    - 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
