$ man apt-get --print-uris Instead of fetching the files to install their URIs are printed. Each URI will have the path, the destination file name, ... Note that the file name to write to will not always match the file name on the remote site!...
Indeed, why are some of those names different? The difference I found was that sometimes an [0-9]%3a is inserted: $ apt-get -qq --print-uris dist-upgrade|sed "s=.*/==;s/'//;s/.%3a//"|\ awk '$1!=$2{print $1,$2}' #eliminated the differences with ^^^^^^^^ But why the need to be different?
