I've tried nabbing packages using

sudo apt-get -d install foo

but all it gett is an error output:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get -d install ubuntu-desktop
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

It will download packages I DO NOT have installed, but when the package
is one I DO have installed I get the above error as if I was planning to
install it too (which I am not).

Why doesn't the -d tag make apt-get download the file whether it is
installed or not?
