Package: apt-offline

The apt-offline man pages conclude with :
NOTE: On a freshly installed box, that was installed without
the network, the package database is null. In that case, you
first need to run apt-offline with just the --update option to
ensure that you have a meaningful package database
However, if one tries to follow these instructions, this happens:
$ sudo apt-offline --update
usage: apt-offline [-h] [--verbose] [--simulate] [-v]
{set,get,install} ...
apt-offline: error: too few arguments
The “freshly installed box” (a Beagle Bone Black) does have a seeded
/var/lib/apt/lists (with *_Packages, *_Packages.gz, *_Release,
*_Release.gpg, and *_Translation-en files).
Ummm... You need to run the --update option along with the 'set'
command. The final resultant will be:
$ sudo apt-offline set /tmp/set.uris --update
