how to generate all the deb files used to install debian 9

[marietto]

Hello to everyone.

I've just installed debian 9 on my pc. I did that because I wanted the full list of the deb packages that it has used to install itself,but when I went on /var/cache/apt/archives/ I found nothing. In addition,I have installed some new packages and I checked if on the /var/cache/apt/archives it had saved the deb files,but again I found nothing. Point is that I need to have all the deb files that has been used to build the current installation that I'm using. Is there a way to create a library of deb files ? thanks.

Code: Select all

dpkg --get-selections > my_debian.txt

Of course the deb's come from wherever, but that's the list,
