Thank you so much! This is my first Ubuntu installation, and it was on a Netbook that needs updated wifi drivers. My only access to wifi drivers is through the wifi. It was an infinite loop of frustration–thanks and worked perfectly!

By: ‘wget -c’ Bug in Download Script Generated by Synaptic in Ubuntu 7.10(Feisty Fawn)

[...] Ubuntu Edgy Eft was the first version to introduce this feature to Ubuntu users: Those who can’t download large packages on, say, a home machine can just mark the packages to be installed in Synaptic Package Manager and then let it generate a download script. This script can be carried to a machine with good Internet connection and executed there to download all the required files. The download files can then be carried back to the home machine to complete the installation of selected packages through Synaptic Package Manager. I have explained the complete procedure in an earlier post: Simple Way to Update Ubuntu Edgy With Slow/No Internet Connection [...]

-c options tells wget to continue/resume the download of partially downloaded packages(in case the downloads were interrupted the first time the script was run and we don’t want the downloads to be started from the beginning). It’s a reported bug in Feisty(Edgy didn’t have this problem) and might get fixed in a future update(immediate fix available here).

A space needs to be present between the ‘-c’ option and the url. Synaptic is generating this in feisty:

wget -chttp://archive.ubuntu.com/….

It should be generated like this:

wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/….

So all you have to do is manually edit the generated file and add those required spaces. Those who know Perl(or such) can write a simple script to automate the process.
