[Grml] OT: Downloading the .deb package

[T o n g]

Hi,

How to download the .deb file for a package?

$ aptitude download linux-image-2.6.28-grml64
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Reading extended state information
Initializing package states... Done
Unable to find an archive "grml" for the package "linux-image-2.6.28-
grml64"

What's wrong?

Thanks

Maybe the wrong architecture?

What does:

% apt-config dump | grep Architecture

show?

What's in your "/etc/apt/sources.list"?

What's in your "/etc/apt/sources.list"?

My /etc/apt/sources.list should be fine, because I can 'aptitude install'
just fine, but can't do 'aptitude download':

% aptitude download live-initramfs initramfs-tools
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Reading extended state information
Initializing package states... Done
Unable to find an archive "grml" for the package "live-initramfs"

% aptitude install live-initramfs initramfs-tools
The following NEW packages will be installed:
busybox{a} live-initramfs user-setup{a}
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
cryptsetup uuid-runtime
0 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove
Need to get 519kB of archives. After unpacking 1249kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]

Anyway, here is my /etc/apt/sources.list:
http://pastebin.com/m51ab9d7

and my /etc/apt/preferences:
http://pastebin.com/m3e29a6c2

Anything else? Why I can do 'aptitude install' but not 'aptitude
download'?

thanks

It looks very odd. Does this work?

aptitude -d install

Release pinning, just use:

aptitude -t grml-testing download live-initramfs initramfs-tools

Hi,
How to download the .deb file for a package?
$ aptitude download linux-image-2.6.28-grml64

(I missed "download" in your first post...)

Hmm... Just rechecked again. There must be something wrong.

% aptitude download linux-image-2.6-amd64

works. So downloading (and installing) "linux-image-2.6.28-grml64"
should work too.

In the meanwhile you can try:

[1] http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.28-grml64/
[2] http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.28-grml64/linux-image-2.6.28-grml64_grml.03_amd64.deb
