Hi (down 8-) ) there,
dpkg -l |grep --extended-regexp --regexp='^[uirph]c|^[uirph]i'|awk {'
print $2 "=" $3'} >/tmp/p_list
will get you a file containing all installed (?i) and configurational
(?c) packages.
cat /tmp/p_list|xargs -n 1 apt-get install -s
will apt-get those packages. after you removed the -s option, of course.
but i'm sure this can be done more elegantly.
