Public bug reported: My ISP does not allow large downloads in the daytime. And many packages require user input to configure. So I need to use "apt-get --download- only upgrade" at night to download the packages and "apt-get --no- download upgrade" in the daytime to install them.
"apt-get --no-download upgrade" should upgrade my system from the cached packages and indexes without accessing the Internet at all. But "apt-get --no-download upgrade" fails if it does not have an internet connection. If it has a connection it will try to download the package indexes and my ISP will hang it. I believe that apt-get is part of the package "apt 0.7.9ubuntu17.2" but it might be part of apt-utils. ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- apt-get --no-download upgrade DOWNLOADS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378947 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
