I'd like to have apt-get like yum.

1. download the package(s) and dependency
2. simulate the install
3. if the simulate is ok > done the real install

Why that? In some situation I decide to install the package "XYZ" and so I did ->

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install XYZ
[...] download XYZ and the dependency[...]
[...] Install all dependency [...]
[...] Error during the install of XYZ [...]

And now? why can I have all dependency of XYZ if I don't have it?

If the "simulate install" was done and failed ... nothing .. the real install not do!

Bye and sorry for my english
