Hello Hans,
thanks so much for your very quick reply.
I just tried out the command you provided and it seems to produce quite
an extensive list beginning with "acl" and ending with "zlib1g:amd64".
So it´s basically a list with all the packages which are installed by
default plus the packages I installed afterwards.
I was hoping for a list that provides just my post-installed packages.
But I assume that in view of the fact that the /i*nitial-status.gz
*/doesn´t seem to exist on Debian there´s no way of achieving this goal.
Never mind. Your command will certainly be of great assistance when
setting up a new system.
Thank you very much for that, Hans.
Many greetings and keep safe.

Hi,
maybe this is the command you need? From an older doku:
-------------
3.3.10 Record/copy system configuration
To make a local copy of the package selection states:
$ dpkg --get-selections "*" > myselections
# or use \*
“*” makes myselections include package entries for “purge” too.
You can transfer this file to another computer, and install it there with:
dselect update
dpkg --set-selections <myselections
apt-get -u dselect-upgrade
or dselect install
----------------------
Hope this helps.
Best
Hans
