Hi,

# aptitude download dirmngr=2.1.18-8~deb9u3
Error: pattern not supported by this subcommand: 'dirmngr=2.1.18-8~deb9u3'

Although the command  actually called by 'aptitude  download' ('apt download')
handles it without problem:
  # apt download dirmngr=2.1.18-8~deb9u3
  Get:1 http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 dirmngr amd64 2.1.18-8~deb9u3 [597 kB]
  Fetched 597 kB in 1s (857 kB/s)

Cheers,
Arnaud Fontaine
