Package: apt Version: 0.5.5.1 Severity: wishlist Often when I am logged in to someone else's system I want to download a package to my home directory to unpack, examine, or transfer elsewhere.
"apt-get -d install package" wants to put the package in /var/cache/apt/archives which is not writable by non-root. I would like to be able to tell it to download into another directory that I have write access to. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux lyta 2.4.20-se-ssh #1 Fri May 2 04:36:00 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.3.1-17 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.3-0pre9 GCC support library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3-0pre9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- no debconf information
