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.
