Hi, is it possible to get the full URL of a package (the one which is passed by apt-get to dpkg for package installation) from apt-cache or some other standard tool? What I would lite to do is something like this:
$ apt-url bash http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/ base/bash_2.03-6.deb $ apt-url my-package file:/local/packages/my-package_1.10.deb The "apt-cache show" command lists the Filename fields but this is useless because it is a relative path. -- Massimo Dal Zotto +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Massimo Dal Zotto email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Via Marconi, 141 phone: ++39-0461534251 | | 38057 Pergine Valsugana (TN) www: http://www.cs.unitn.it/~dz/ | | Italy pgp: see my www home page | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
