I tried to duplicate this myself, using buster, and using stretch (as you previously reported this is on stretch). I was not able to do so using only modifications of the command you gave. I tried replacing the space after -O with a non-breaking space, and I tried using -O -opencv.zip (hinted by the -p in the error message). My next guess is that perhaps wget is receiving additional options from somewhere other than your command line. Perhaps via an environment variable, or something. Apparently wget doesn't have any such env vars, but it does allow a startup file, which it calls ".wgetrc". Or /etc/wgetrc. So, after reading up on that, and experimenting a bit: unicorn:/tmp/build$ cat ~/.wgetrc convert-links = on page-requisites = on If I create a ~/.wgetrc file with at least those two lines in it, then I get the same error you got. Do you have a ~/.wgetrc file? If so, what's in it? If not, what's in your /etc/wgetrc file (other than comments and blank lines)?
