I am having trouble with the following:
$ dpkg --get-selections >list (this appears to work okay)
but:
# dpkg --set-selections <list
The command gives an error which is repeated over and over.
dpkg: warning: package not in database at line 341
This worked fine for me on a previous occasion, so I am doing something
stupid - but I cannot see it.
The only difference that I know of is that I am trying to do this to
a to an installation of sid within virtualbox.
That is it.
John.

There were several postings about this on the list and someone mentioned

filing a bug. It looks like a bug or undocumented change in dpkg.
Kind regards,

Thanks for all the good information. I have been having a small problem
with email - perhaps caused by hurricane sandy. Bug #684776 seems to be
the culprit.
