NAME

       debget - Fetch a .deb for a package in APT's database

SYNOPSIS

       debget package [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

       debget fetches a .deb for one or more packages from an Debian mirror.  It uses apt-get(1) to find out the URL so it will download the same
       version from the same server as apt-get would do. The .deb will be downloaded with curl(1) and stored in your current working directory.

KNOWN BUGS

       debget will not work for packages that are available in apt-get's cache.  If you need that functionality please use the .download option in
       aptitude.
