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
