I want to be able to replicate my current Debian installation, by collecting all of the .deb files that I currently have installed. 'dselect' deleted all of the .deb's that it installed. I know how to get the names of the installed packages (dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}'), but I can figure out how to translate that into a filename that I can ftp from debian.org. When I look in the /var/lib/dpkg/available file, the 'Filename:' field is missing for all the installed packages. Is there some way to automatically collect all the .deb's that match my current installation?
