[Solved] Cannot install from another system's package list

#1 Post by gurfle »

This used to work for me (on older systems), and still is the way recommended by all search results I've found:

On one system do

Code: Select all

dpkg --get-selections > set-sellections.txt
on another system do:

Code: Select all

dpkg --set-selections < set-selections.txt
apt-get update
apt-get dselect-upgrade
dpkg --set-selctions dumps a bunch of warnings (for every single package listed in get-selections.txt not installed on the new system), but which on-line search results indicate can be ignored.

However the real problem seems to be that the "upgrade" does nothing:

Code: Select all

Perhaps I am missing something very elementary here since I am able to install the packages individually. Can anyone spot a cause of the problem?
It shouldn't be necessary to install the over 250 packages "manually".
Both systems are plain vanilla installations of stretch (debian 9.1).

Neat! I had not heard of this and will definitely try it and report back.
Of course it would still be nice (and presumably in many cases quite critical) if the operation could be done from the command line, so an explanation to what I might be doing wrong in that regard would still be very much appreciated.

You seem to have only DVDs in your sources and update is ignoring them. Sure you have them set up properly?

Actually they are mounted iso image files, and definitely set up correctly: If I do "dpkg -i" on any of the packages with the warning from "dpkg --set-selections", the installation succeeds, so the problem has be something connected with "apt-get dselect-upgrade" (a subsequent use of which then has the just-installed package removed from the warning list, since only the ones not installed are listed there).

I don't think "apt-get update" is even needed for me in this particular situation, as I am not changing anything with the sources (which are a full copy of the latest stretch 9.1 repository).
The "apt-get update" "Ign" messages don't matter: If I change sources and return to the iso image files, the change is correctly registered with "apt-get update" in spite of those messages. I think there is some weird redundancy with the Release files that are being ignored without any adverse effect. apt in stretch is finicky about mounted iso image files. Here is an earlier post on that question, where eventually everything gets resolved.

Indeed, this did the job for me 8)

But what happened to the old command line approach? Is it obsolete now?
