That's a nice option whenever you're about to install a new package. However
the problem was to (re)fetch all packages that were already installed, wasn't
it?
In that case, try:
ALLINSTALLED=`dpkg --get-selections | grep ' install$' \
| cut -d ' ' -f 1`
1 tab ^^^^^
1 tab ^^^^^
(on commandline, enter tabs with Ctrl-V Tab)
followed by
apt-get install --reinstall --print-uris $ALLINSTALLED
Stop the presses! I just remembered about the apt-move package. It appears to
do even more than I ever knew before -- you should definately check that first
before possibly re-inventing the wheel.
