I have no idea. In any case, as Ethan Benson already pointed out
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot-0107/msg00639.html), the current
method is wasteful because it downloads all dependencies. So I suggest
this as a workaround till we can get apt-get to ignore dependencies
*completely*, slightly modified from Ethan's suggestion:
##
## Download a package like apt-get would do; only ignore dependencies.
## This is a hack. Should apt-get ever get an option to do that, it
## should be used instead.
##
fake_get () {
# HACK: we assume the first mirror is correct...
local MIRROR="$(awk '/^deb / {print $2; exit}' sources.list)"
for i in "$@" ; do
# HACK: we assume the first package is correct...
local PACKAGE="$(apt-cache show $i | awk '/^Filename:/ {print $2; exit}')"
debug "downloading " $MIRROR/$PACKAGE
(cd $archive/cache/archives && wget -q "$MIRROR/$PACKAGE")
done
}
It would be nice if somebody could try this for another architecture...
