Hi all,
We have a situaution where we want to ensure that a server has a certain
list of packages installed. It can have extra packages, but it _must_
have the list we specify on it.
Can I use dpkg -get-selections > a.file and then edit it to only include
the install and deinstall lines for the critical packages on machine
number 1, then on the other machine run dpkg --set-selections < a.file ?
Or does the input to --set-selections have to be a complete list of all
packages that should be on the machine?
I can't try this out in case I blow away the machine we need to
duplicate off - the other machine we have to duplicate to is a long way
away and hasnt been built yet...
Thanks,
John P Foster

I do not support the Australian Government's Policies on Refugees and
Mandatory Detention.
The Mandatory Detention of Refugees is an Obscenity and is profoundly
un-Australian .
This is MY opinion and not that of my company. I wish more Australians
would stand up about this.
