Similar questions have been asked already but none of them have solved my problem:
I need to install a package on a standalone Linux box, specifically kdbg. Now I tired the command
sudo apt-get install --download-only kdbg
on a box connected to the internet, but it only downloads the package and dependencies that I don't have installed. Some of those dependencies (that command downloaded 117 total packages) have sub dependencies, and those sub dependencies have even more dependencies and I'm going down a rabbit hole trying to fish those packages out of the repo.
Now I tried using a couple of other commands that supposedly will download all dependencies, even the ones I have installed. I've tried
apt-get download PACKAGE && apt-cache depends -i PACKAGE | awk '/Depends:/ {print $2}' | xargs apt-get download
and
apt-get download $(apt-rdepends <package>|grep -v "^ ").
Command one only downloads the direct dependencies, like the ones you'd find on packages.ubuntu.com if you were to search kdbg, and command two gives me the error message:
Can't select candidate version for package <package> as it has no candidate
for several different packages.
So, to restate my question, is there a way for me to download kdbg, all of its dependencies, all of those dependencies' dependencies, so on and so forth? Or perhaps I am using one of the above commands incorrectly?
Thanks in advance.
