Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20.2ubuntu6
Severity: normal
Problem: I would like to download several packages with their dependencies
through apt-get. Specifically, I am using chdist and apt-get, so it would
be a great comfort if this bug is fixed.
Description:
While having installed nvidia-glx-180 (ubuntu-specific) on my system,
I have tried to download some packages that are known to conflict:
$ apt-cache show nvidia-glx-71 nvidia-glx-180

Here are some commands I tried by enabling force-all:
apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-all" -d install nvidia-glx-71
apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-all" -d install nvidia-glx-71
apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-breaks" -o
DPkg::Options::="--force-conflicts" -d install nvidia-glx-71
I have also tried to apply the following rules:
$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/custom-apt-test
DPkg
{
Options {"--force-all";}
}
Moreover, the apt-config dump shows another attempt with these options:
DPkg::Options:: "--force-breaks";
DPkg::Options:: "--force-conflicts";
DPkg::Options:: "--force-depends";
None of them seem to work.
These were also tested through chdist apt-get (with proper apt.conf options)
and still cause problem, probably because apt-get checks the system for
installed packages, even with the -d option passed.
Suggestion:
The solutions I can recommend would be to
a) Fix the dpkg options to be recognized (I might be using something
wrong here so not 100% sure).
and/or
b) Since "-d" argument specifically tells apt-get not to install/process a
package
but just download it, apt-get should not check the system for installed
packages
with the "-d" option enabled (probably limit it to a warning?).
Thank you for your time!
