Nope

apt-get --download-only gnome-session2
E: Invalid operation gnome-session2

You need an "install" there, apparently. Which gives me ...

root@handyman:/var/cache/apt/archives# apt-get install --download-only gnome-session2

gnome-session2 is already the newest version.

root@handyman:/var/cache/apt/archives# aptitude download gnome-session2

E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the gnome-session2 package. This might
mean you need to manually fix this package. (due to missing arch)
