Can I get the .deb files that I currently have installed.



I want to be able to replicate my current Debian installation, by collecting
all of the .deb files that I currently have installed.  'dselect' deleted
all of the .deb's that it installed.  I know how to get the names of the
installed packages (dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}'), but I can figure out how to
translate that into a filename that I can ftp from debian.org.  When I look
in the /var/lib/dpkg/available file, the 'Filename:' field is missing for
all the installed packages.  Is there some way to automatically collect all
the .deb's that match my current installation?

Mark.
