Hi!
I have a debian woody machine which I installed via FTP.
I would like to dump the names of all installed packages into a file,
so that I can install them automatically with dpkg.
I tried

but the file doesn't contain any package versions? Can I include that
as well?

Indeed
At the moment there are two in the archive.
One is xgmod, which is in both contrib and main, with
the main one being newer. Looks like the package was moved
but not deleted out of old area. Accident probably.
The other is ircii, which exists in both main and non-US/main.

How can I list the full package name?
