Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.15.8-1 Severity: normal Hi,
the man page of aptitude reads: =========================================================================== [...] download Downloads the .deb file for the given package to the current directory. [...] =========================================================================== However, when /etc/apt/sources.list points to a "file" source, "aptitude download <package>" does nothing. For "ftp", "copy", etc., it works. Since the command "aptituce download" is generally used to (somehow) fetch a .deb to the current directory, this really should work for "file" sources, too. Thanks for considering. bye, Roland -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3 0.5.28.5 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-9 GCC support library ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-1.2-5c102 1.2.5-4 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
