Upgrading with APT: which packages is it going to download?
Hello!
As my modem internet connection is slow and (being in Italy) expensive, I would
like to use apt to upgrade my system, but being myself the connection using a
Zip disk to carry .deb files from our debian mirror at the university to home.
Is there some way to know what is apt going to download, so that I can go,
fetch them and plug them in?
If I had a list like:
main/binary-i386/base/libc6_2.0.7t-1.deb
main/binary-i386/admin/svgatextmode_1.8-5.2.deb
[...]
I could even generate a script on the zip drive that will do the downloading
form me; if I could also know file size I could have an idea of what
downloading is going to be.
Ciao! Enrico
