Package: dpkg
Version: 1.17.25
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation? Goal make server1 have same packages as
server2. I used dpkg --get-selections > package_list.txt to get list on
server1.
Then, I used dpkg --set-selections < package_list.txt on server2.
A subset of packages generate a warning: package not in database at line
<number> : <package name>
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)? I tried installing dselect and running again but found that
this bug existed back in 2013.

* What was the outcome of this action? Error as described above.
* What outcome did you expect instead? I expected the new package list to be
accepted and packages would install.
