Hi, I have been updating packages by manually ftping them from ftp.debian.org and putting them in a directory which I have nfs exported to the other three machines. I have then been running dpkg -i manually to install the packages I want updated.
I was just about to write a script to do a comparison between my local downloaded .deb files and the output of a dpkg -l when I realised that there is probably a tool to already do this. I couldn't see a way to do this on the dpkg man page. What I want is a way comparing what is currently installed (dpkg -l) with what is available on my local mirror. What is the proper way to do this. If I need to RTFM please point me to the M. Thanks, Adam. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
