I've got one debian box, and I want to duplicate the package list onto another machine - how do I go about doing this?
I've done a dpkg -l to get a list of files from the first machine. It's got a whole load of extra information (package version no. etc) which I've filtered out. How can I get apt to recognise the contents of the file as being a list of packages to install? Is there a better tool for the job?
Source machine: dpkg --get-selections > /tmp/some-file.txt
Dest machine: dpkg --put-selections < /tmp/some-file.txt
--put-selections doesn't seem to be in the man page. There's a --set-selections, but it says that does nothing to actually do installing.
