Hi, I have a slow dialup so I created a script to get the deb's I need without doing an 'apt-get update'. Maybe it will help someone else.
--------------------------------------get_old_app.sh PKGNAME------------
apt-get -y --print-uris install $1 2>/dev/null|grep http|
awk '{print $1}'| cut -d"/" -f4-|cut -d\' -f1|while read line; do
echo $line;
URL3="$line"
URL4=$(basename $URL3)
URL1="http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/";
i=0
done="no"
while [ "$done" == "no" ]; do
echo -n "$i ";
URL2=$(date +"%Y/%m/%d/" --date="$i day ago")
echo -n "[";
wget -c $URL1$URL2$URL3
STAT=$?
echo "]";
if [ "$STAT" == "0" ]; then
done="yes"
echo moving $URL4
mv $URL4 /var/cache/apt/archives
STAT=$?
echo $STAT
if [ "$STAT" == "0" ]; then
done="yes"
else
done="no"
fi
URL5=$(echo $URL4|cut -d"_" -f1)
apt-get -y install $URL5
STAT2=$?
echo "status $STAT2"
else
if [ "$i" == "20" ]; then
done="yes"
fi
fi
i=$(( $i + 1))
done
done
