Hey there, nice tutorial. But you may should clear the dpkg-selections:
sudo dpkg --clear-selections
Thx
You can also use apt-clone (apt-get install apt-clone).
To backup: apt-clone clone .
This makes a more complete backup, containing source repositories and whether the package was auto-installed or not. It will also tell you if any of your packages aren't in the configured repositories.
To restore: apt-clone restore apt-clone-state-zzzz.tar.gz
Oh, that's really cool! Thanks, Chris!
I tried apt-clone and all I got was:
apt-clone -l
usage: apt-clone [-h] [--debug] {info,clone,restore,restore-new-distro} ...
apt-clone: error: too few arguments
