You could just install and run netselect-apt from each machine?

My thanks to Camaleón, Tom H, and Heddle Weaver for helping me get around
this obstacle which had me stumped. (Farmers use the term "stumped" to
describe the situation in which the ploughshare (that is, the blade of the
plough) embeds itself in a tree stump in the field.) Sometimes just
getting going again is more important than attaining a complete
understanding.

netselect-apt is a nifty package of which I previously was unaware.
