Bug Description

Hi,

I created a script to help me get some deb files for installation on machines that will not be on the network. I am using apt-get to figure out the URL for the packages I need. This fails for this one case:
apt-get install -y linux-image-extra-virtual --reinstall --print-uris

I can track down the URI manually, but the above command does not yield it. If I do a standard apt-get install using that package name on a machine that does have internet access, it downloads correctly, but trying to use the --print-uris fails; it only gets the dependency
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-meta/linux-image-generic_5.4.0.113.117_amd64.deb
and not the linux-image-extra-virtual.

This is for Ubuntu 20.04.

  thanks,
  Fritz
