To export a list of all installed packages, you can use the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But this will loose any `{A}` markers for automatically installed packages and therefore produce a lot of garbage when
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies change.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To export only manually installed packages, use `aptitude` like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo aptitude search '~i!~M' -F '%p install' > selections.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(More `aptitude` filterstrings can be found on [their project page](http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/ch02s03s05.html).)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the other machine, use the following command to set the new markers:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo dpkg --set-selections < selections.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-01-23 17:14:59 +00:00
|
|
|
Now run `aptitude` and resolve the dependencies.
