Ok, this looks like the best version so far: Backup: aptitude --disable-columns -F %p search '~i!~M' > $PKG_LIST (in case you're wondering, my list currently has 177 packages) Restore (as root): aptitude -o Aptitude::Delete-Unused=false markauto ~i aptitude -o Aptitude::Delete-Unused=false unmarkauto $(cat $PKG_LIST | tr "\n" " ") aptitude keep-all I still don't understand why 'Delete-Unused=false' is necessary with 'unmarkauto' and an additional 'keep-all' is needed, but at least it works.
