I expect someone here knows the answer to the last part of my answer. If so, I'll add it in.

A: How to download package not install it with apt-get command?

Faheem MithaTo expand on Hamid's answer slightly, any of these three very similar commands will work if your only desire is to only download the specified package, and nothing else. (Your use case is not clearly stated, so it's unclear if that is what you want to do.) They all download the Debian package fil...

I didn't bother to research it, but my guess is md5sums.
To be explicit, I'm talking about
> However, I'm not sure what criteria they use to check - or, in other words, how hard it is to fool them.
Also, this answer looks wrong.

A: How to download package not install it with apt-get command?

Samuel Warenapt provides a source retrieval command - apt source. $ apt source pppoe Reading package lists... Done Picking 'rp-pppoe' as source package instead of 'pppoe' Need to get 239 kB of source archives.

It seems pretty clear the question is not asking for the sources.

It seems pretty clear that the poster was asking for a command to download a Debian binary package, not the Debian sources. So this is not an answer to the question. — Faheem Mitha 15 secs ago

Actually, I made an error when writing my question. I do want files that do not match the results. But if I change that in the question now, it will make all the answers wrong. Any suggestions on the best way to handle this? — Faheem Mitha 11 secs ago
I mis-wrote my question, but if I changed it, all the answers would then be wrong.
Is there a recommended way to handle this?

Also, can you explain what this line does? rm -f "${filenames[@]/%.tex/.pdf}". — Faheem Mitha 10 secs ago
Or if anyone else feels like explaining, that would be great too.

@FaheemMitha But it's explained right there in the answer:
> "${filenames[@]/%.tex/.pdf}" expands to all elements of the array, substituting each trailing .tex by .pdf.
@FaheemMitha Posting a new one is probably the best way since, as you say, editing would invalidate the existing answers.

@terdon I think that it's too close to the question I've already asked.
@terdon So it does. My reading skills are even poorer than I thought. I was just looking at the code.
