Hi!

The easy way to do that is:

dpkg --get-selections > 'file'on machine (a),
customize 'file'
copy 'file' to machine (b),
dpkg --set-selections < 'file'on machine (b).

After that type apt-get install on machine (b).

Hope, that helps.

slink to potato ssh failed

2000-07-10 Thread papt
Hi!

I recently upgraded my slink box to potato with apt. Everything works
well but the new ssh:

neptun:/home/papt# dpkg --configure ssh
Setting up ssh (1.2.3-5) ...
dpkg: error processing ssh (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ssh

I don't know what's wrong with it. Could anybody help me?
