Well, since I already have all the packages I wanted to upgrade, I
removed the ones in /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/ and copied the ones
missing to /var/cache/apt/archives/
Next, I tried to run dselect with mounted fs installation, but that
doesn't help as it requires Packages.gz from each directory, plus (or so
I believe) a copy (or partial copy) of the directories (main, contrib,
non-free...) ... probably meaning that I would have to create those
directories in /var/cache/apt/archives/ and I'm frightened to mess with
the dpkg database.
Then, I ran `apt-get install <packages>', hoping that it would be able
to realize that the requested packages are in /var/cache/apt/archives/,
but it started downloading again, so I exited apt-get.
Since I already have all the packages, how can I best use apt-get or
dselect to install them all?
I find dpkg is a nice flexible tool, but I would have to go through
`dpkg -i <package>' one by one (and for upgrading things such as libc6
it's a real pain due to interdependencies).
TIA
