Package: apt Version: 0.9.7.8 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The command 'apt-get download --no-act gcc' does honor the '--no-act' option. Consider the following typescript, $ ls *.deb ls: cannot access *.deb: No such file or directory $ apt-get download --no-act gcc Get:1 Downloading gcc 4:4.7.2-1 [5,064 B] Fetched 5,064 B in 0s (108 kB/s) $ ls *.deb gcc_4.7.2-1_amd64.deb I get the same results when run from a root (uid=0) terminal, also same results when run as 'apt-get --no-act download gcc'. Thanks, Jeffrey Sheinberg -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "amd64"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "false"; APT::Install-Suggests "false"; APT::Authentication ""; APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-restricted-modules.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-ubuntu-modules-.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^gnumach-image.*"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections ""; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/metapackages"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "restricted/oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "universe/oldlibs"; APT::Never-MarkAuto-Sections:: "multiverse/oldlibs"; APT::Update ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:: "test -x /usr/bin/apt-show-versions || exit 0 ; apt-show-versions -i"; APT::Clean-Installed "off"; APT::Get ""; APT::Get::Show-Upgraded "true"; APT::Get::List-Cleanup "false"; APT::Default-Release ""; APT::Cache-Limit "45000000"; APT::Periodic ""; APT::Periodic::Enable "0"; APT::Periodic::BackupArchiveInterval "0"; APT::Periodic::BackupLevel "0"; APT::Periodic::MaxAge "0"; APT::Periodic::MinAge "0"; APT::Periodic::MaxSize "0"; APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0"; APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "0"; APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages-Debdelta "0"; APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0"; APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0"; APT::Periodic::Verbose "1"; APT::Architectures ""; APT::Architectures:: "amd64"; APT::Compressor ""; APT::Compressor::.
