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
