    The reason you shouldn’t use dpkg –get-selections is kinda complex. When you feed the list back into apt on a clean system, you are *explicitly* installing the software _and_ its dependencies. This means that if you later decide you don’t want Banshee, for example, aptitude (or apt-get) will not remove Banshee’s dependencies. This is because it assumes you need those dependencies for something else simply because *you* told aptitude to install, not the dependency system. Hope that explanation helps to explain it. :) However, there is a better solution. If you go onto #ubuntu (the official IRC channel), message the bot (its username is ubottu) with !clone and that will give you the command to get the list of explicitly installed applications, not the dependencies.

    Enjoyed the interview. I find these interviews make one appreciate the amount of knowledge and work that they put in and difficulties they encounter.

    “To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude –display-format ‘%p’ search ‘?installed!?automatic’ > ~/my-packages », move the file “my-packages” to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude –schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » "
