[Bug 844196] Re: --ignore-missing doesn't work on apt-get download

[Brian Murray]

I was able to recreate this bug given the steps you've provided.

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

** Description changed:

  I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 dev with apt 0.8.16~exp5ubuntu6. If a package
  can't be found on apt-get download the other packages aren't downloaded
  too. --ignore-missing doesn't force to continue the download. For
  example "apt-get download --ignore-missing htop ia33-libs" will stop on
  ia33-libs because the package doesn't exist but htop will not be
  downloaded then too.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ apt-get download --ignore-missing htop ia33-libs

** Tags added: testcase
