Hi Ravi, The list of packages that you try to install in the two systems is different. Only 3 of the long list get installed in the first system, while nothing gets installed in the second.
Are you sure you do not already have all those packages installed in the second system? That would explain that your command does not install anything, simply because it is not necessary.
