Hi, 2016-07-24 09:56 Jörg-Volker Peetz:
Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer(s), commanding aptitude -t sid download mksh fails with the message Subcommand not supported: -t In the previous version 0.8.1-1 the command succeeds. The now no longer in the man-page documented aptitude download <package>/<release> still works.
Thanks for the report. Here I was wondering if anybody was using that operation at all, and it's the first bug received after the last release... Basically, aptitude now calls "apt download" on your behalf. I did this because it seems a bit unneeded to reimplement every bit of apt functionality instead of reusing, and specially when reimplementing it badly -- in this case, aptitude was downloading without check for valid signatures or anything, or other sensible things that apt probably does. So I am not sure what to do in this case. Probably we should handle "-t" specially since it's quite related to the download subcommand, even if it's only to say "use 'aptitude download package/release' instead". It will need some thinking about how to address this a bit more globally. Cheers. -- Manuel A.
