Bug#792713: apt-get download: "E: Handler silently failed"



Package: apt
Version: 1.1~exp8
Severity: minor

This error message is not very helpful:

$ apt-get download
E: Handler silently failed


It would be nice it APT told me what was actually wrong, for example:

E: Must specify at least one package to download
