Re: How download packages from a list



Thanks for the quick response!

This command is working (the file is beeing read).


>     xargs apt -d install < mylist.txt

However, the problem is, these packages are all abandoned, as i386 is no more supported by debian. However, this is no problem for me, but I believe, due to this politics, these packages are no more downloadable using the apt-get way.

(This is, what I believe!).


The command


xargs apt -d install < mylist.txt


shows the output


Error: Unable to locate package anna 
Error: Unable to locate package archdetect 
Error: Unable to locate package bogl-bterm-udeb 
Error: Unable to locate package btrfs-modules 
Error: Unable to locate package busybox-udeb 
....

....


and so on.


On the other hand, these packagaes are still in the repo and can be downlaoded by ftp or rsync.


Looks more difficult, than I thought at the beginning. I suppose, at the end, I will have to do the effort and downlaod all packages manually.
