I don't think this is a bug but a behaviour consistent with the apt design. If the package you want to download is already installed, you should use:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall -d foo ** Summary changed: - 'sudo apt-get -d install' command broken? + 'sudo apt-get -d install' should download also if package is already installed -- 'sudo apt-get -d install' should download also if package is already installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132006 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
