jh why would you just one specific package to be updated?
Sorry I didn't explain more. Here's the situation ...
I have an office machine, O, and a home machine, H both using
sarge/testing. O has a high-speed connection to the Internet, but H
doesn't. After updating O, I copy all the .deb

Hi.
This isn't a silly question at all. For a long time I would use
dselect to just update the list of available packages, then I have to
view them just to get back out to the prompt to update.
However, this will do the same:
apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade
The first updates the list of
ne if (dpkg -l package-name | grep -c ii ) dpkg -i ./package.deb;
Though I might again consider using 'apt-zip', a slight variation of
the above should do what I need ...
Thanks, Niels!
