Is is possible to fetch debs with all dependencies without installing them?

Hello all! Well, the subj... Thanks in advance!

Sure. I think there may be a setting in Synaptic's settings that allow you to download only (not sure about that, I really don't play with Synaptic much, it would be under file). However, I know you can do that with apt-get from the command line. Put -d on the end, like this...


apt-get install gimp -d

That only downloads the file and it's dependencies.
