Hi, Chris! >From the aptitude man-page: -d, --download-only Download packages to the package cache as necessary, but do not install or remove anything. By default, the package cache is stored in /var/cache/apt/archives.
This corresponds to the configuration option Aptitude::CmdLine::Download-Only. As you can see, this option is for command-line operation (CmdLine), so it will only work when you install your packages from command-line, by running e.g. sudo aptitude -d install somepackage. I suggest marking the bug as Invalid, as it does not look like a bug after all. -- aptitude does not honour --download-only https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216292 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
