Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal

Hi,

Given the following exceprt from the apt-get(8) manpage:

       -d

       --download-only
              Download  only;  package  files are only retrieved,
              not unpacked  or  installed.   Configuration  Item:
              APT::Get::Download-Only.

and the actual behavior of apt-get, e.g.:

  # apt-get -d install ssh
  Reading Package Lists... Done
  Building Dependency Tree... Done
  Sorry, ssh is already the newest version.
  0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 31  not upgraded.

there is a contradiction: apt-get still wants to install the package.
If it wouldn't want to, it had downloaded the package and had left it in
/var/cache/apt/archives.

There are several ways we could solve this contradiction:

1. make a new apt-get command, e.g.: apt-get deb <package>

2. correct the manpage, e.g.: s/"package  files are only retrieved, not
   unpacked  or  installed."/"the regular install procedure of apt-get(8)
   stops right after retrieving the package. It doesn't retrieve the package
   if it is already installed and if the dependencies are not met."/

3. any more ideas?

Thanks.
BR,

Csan

        In today's current economic environment it is becoming increasingly 
more difficult to avoid social & economic predators. These modern day predators 
(credit bureau errors, bill collectors etc...) prey on the hard working 
citizens of the US.  Join us in forming an Alliance against such "predators".  
Although in many cases paychecks are lower and job security scarce, doesn't 
mean we will no longer need homes for our families, cars, credit cards or 
personal loans. In all probability we at sometime in the future will be in the 
market for one or more of these essentials.  Formany of us these very necessary 
living expenses will be difficult to obtain.  That's where we can help.

        Alliance Credit Group can help assist you in boosting your current 
credit rating by eliminating negative, misleading, unverifiable, inaccurate and 
outdated information from your credit file.  In doing this, you will no longer 
have to be subject to paying ridiculously high interest rates because of a low 
credit rating.  Shop for the best rates when in the market for a family home, 
car or when applying for a personal loan or credit cards.

        Visit us at our website today for more information on your rights to 
improving your personal credit profile.  In most cases you can become eligible 
for the very best "Credit" has to offer you.

        When joining our Alliance against bad credit bureau reporting we can 
typically improve your personal credit profile by as much as 50% in as little 
as 30-45 days.  Don't put this off any longer.
