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

[Brian Murray]

This also fails for 'apt-get install' and 'apt-get source'.  Debian bug
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=409904&archived=no&mbox=no is similar but is only
about 'apt-get source'.

Title:
  --ignore-missing doesn't work on apt-get download

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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
