Package: apt
Version: 0.3.14
Specifying the --no-download option with the --fix-missing option doesn't
work very well, as apt doesn't seem to realize that it would have failed
to download the files which *are* missing had it tried ... this results
in a rather funny-looking error message (path file.deb is not absolute or
something).
This may be wishlist!
Thanks,
Andy

This is specifically documented in the man page, the two options are not
asssured to work together!!
