Subject: apt-get download --no-act does not honor --no-act
From: Jeffrey Sheinberg <jeff@bsrd.net>
Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2013 16:45:55 -0400

Package: apt
Version: 0.9.7.8
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The command 'apt-get download --no-act gcc' does honor the '--no-act'
option.

Consider the following typescript,

    $ ls *.deb
    ls: cannot access *.deb: No such file or directory

    $ apt-get download --no-act gcc
    Get:1 Downloading gcc 4:4.7.2-1 [5,064 B]
    Fetched 5,064 B in 0s (108 kB/s)

    $ ls *.deb
    gcc_4.7.2-1_amd64.deb

I get the same results when run from a root (uid=0) terminal, also same
results when run as 'apt-get --no-act download gcc'.

Thanks,

Jeffrey Sheinberg

/tmp$0 LANG=C apt-get download --no-act gcc
E: Command line option --no-act is not understood
/tmp$100

So, this was fixed in the meantime (but agrueable not in the way you
would like). But --no-act makes no sense, if you want a kind of
simulation, try --print-uris which works.
