# man dpkg

works wonders. :-) Also from the dselect man page:

Note that this will not actually install or remove anything, but just
set the selection state on the requested packages. You will need some
other application to actually download and install the requested
packages. For example, run apt-get dselect-upgrade.

Hello Marcelo,

to install the packages you could do "apt-get dselect-upgrade" or in
"dselect" you can hit *install*

When yesterday I installed Linux dual-boot on our family machine, I
relied on apt-show-versions to create a fully-featured system
similar to mine.


My machine:
$ apt-show-versions > /media/thumb/package.versions.txt

Their machine, when in a minimal state:
# apt-get install
$(cat /media/thumb/package.versions.txt | cut -d/ -f1)

I think I browsed too many man pages before I replied. The above should
read "from the dpkg man page." :-)

"Lust" installing those apps via "apt-get install" (even though they
are already installed) seems to accomplish the same thing, at least
for my needs.

,----[ man 8 apt-mark ]--------

When you request that a package is installed, and as a result
other packages are installed to satisfy its dependencies, the
dependencies are marked as being automatically installed.
`---------------------------------------------

In the case above all packages are not marked as "auto" which means your apt
thinks all packages are manually installed.
In lenny even apt learned how to remove not needed dependies like aptitude
which is broken with the setup above.
