So as to keep the same software set from one machine to another I use aptoncd and copy the contents of the iso to /var/cache/apt/archives and install the set using apt-get install -f. >From then on every time I use apt-get I get nagged to remove a list of packages which have been auto installed by using apt-get autoremove. I work around this by copying the list of packages to be removed into a bash script and apt-get -y install each of these packages in turn. All I get is a message saying that the package is the latest version and that it has been marked as manually installed.
This is just a kludge and what I'd like to know is if there is some more elegant way of recording these packages as manually installed?
