No problem. There's no rush.

I looked more closely into this, and it seems like the easiest solution is a --no-download flag for "install". It can be implemented either by exiting with error if the install plan contains packages that aren't already installed (forcing the user to run "install --only-dependencies") or by somehow coaxing the constraint solver into rejecting such packages (is this possible?). -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
